Addictive behaviors remain a major public health issue in Spain and other European countries. This is evidenced by the high healthcare costs associated with primary care consultations, specialized resources, hospital admissions, and mortality resulting from drug-related problems. Preventing the emergence of issues related to addictive behaviors is a complex endeavor that must be addressed through a health-centered policy implemented at different levels (universal, selective, and indicated). This policy should prioritize prevention through a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, incorporating a cross-cutting perspective and a developmental outlook that goes beyond the individual level. This article aims to present a clear overview of the concept, theory, and applications of environmental prevention, which is less familiar to professionals working in the field of addictive behaviors. The article concludes by illustrating various environmental prevention measures (regulatory, economic, and context-based) aimed at addressing addictive behaviors, while also discussing key barriers and considerations for their implementation
