Learn what low-risk alcohol & drug choices looks like for your life.

Prime Choices will help you examine your current relationship with alcohol and drugs, and help identify the tools to shape that relationship to align with your personal goals and values. It’s based on the validated research that informs our flagship Prime For Life program, and like our other effective programs, it takes some time! You can pause any time, knowing you will need about 10-12 hours to complete in full – whether that’s over a week, a month, or even a year. Once purchased for $20 (during the month of January 2026), you have access for as long as you need! Prime Choices is a voluntary course that can be completed whenever you like and wherever you have an internet connection. Prime Choices illustrates how problems develop, how to lower risk of developing them, and how to change trajectory if you feel off-course.

NOTE: Prime Choices does NOT fulfill any court or otherwise mandated requirements.

Who is it for?

Prime Choices is for anyone looking to protect the things they value in life. Whether you’re actively thinking about making different alcohol or drug choices, curious about what low-risk choices look like for yourself or others, or wondering how to talk about substance use with friends, family, or your kids – this is the course for you!

Prime Choices is powered by myPrime - a program developed in cooperation with the US Army to provide soldiers with a tool to assess their own high-risk behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes about drugs and alcohol. Now, it’s available to everyone.

Prime Choices is not a replacement for formal treatment or therapy. However, the experience will provide useful information, help apply the principles of risk reduction to your own life, and be a springboard toward change.

If you are required to take a Prime program (by a court, school, or other mandating organization), this is not the course for you. Please verify the program name and connect with us or an instructor to take Prime For Life or a different version of myPrime.
