Prevention and preventive care are typically classified separately, although it's a bit of a gray area. US residents on health plans receive free access to preventive services including immunizations, screening tests, etc.
But prevention is largely outside the scope of medical care. For issues like diet, exercise, and avoidance of substance abuse patients may be able to get help from a variety of other sources including public health agencies, therapists, social workers, dieticians, personal trainers, etc.
