About Us – Remedy Exchange

About Remedy Exchange

Remedy Exchange, Inc. established in 2013 is a licensed substance abuse prevention program in the State of Michigan designed to help individuals and communities make positive lifestyle choices. The focus of our work is centered around the Strategic Prevention Framework and a Positive Community Norms approach. Both of these frameworks lay the foundation for the programs and services offered by Remedy Exchange. We work effectively with individuals and small groups, guiding them through a variety of educational, skill building, and intervention strategies to reduce high risk choices around alcohol, marijuana and other substance use. Community-based strategies address perception of risk, access and social norms related to substance abuse among youth and adults.

“The entire workshop was very informative and well-structured/organized – presenters kept us engaged.” – SAPST participant

“It was very informative and NOTHING like I expected. I appreciate how professional Lisa was as well as friendly and approachable. She answered every question I had in a way it was easy to understand. I thought the class would be just a task I had to get through to get my license. I was wrong…I left there with information that I found very helpful and the time flew by. I never imagined I would be saying this but… I really enjoyed the class! Keep up the good work!” – Prime for Life program participant
