Mission Statement
AADAP exists to change lives and save families adversely impacted by substance abuse. It provides the diverse and multi-ethnic communities of Los Angeles a comprehensive “whole person” approach in its education, intervention, treatment, outreach, advocacy, and employment programs. AADAP distinguishes itself by embodying the Hawaiian concept of “Ohana,” meaning “family.” Each individual who joins AADAP joins a Family bound together by its values of compassion, responsibility, and respect.
About This Cause
Founded in 1972, The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) is one of Los Angeles County’s oldest and most respected substance abuse treatment and prevention organizations. AADAP was the first publicly funded agency in the County to operate a substance abuse program specifically targeting Asian Americans. It remains one of only a few programs in the country to specifically provide culturally and linguistically sensitive treatment and prevention services to the Asian American and Pacific Islander populations. At the same time over its 50-year history the agency has broadened its mission and expertise to provide culturally competent treatment, prevention, mental health, youth gang, and employment services to serve all populations affected by drug and alcohol problems in the diverse Los Angeles County region, while broadening its staff diversity to reflect the cultural and ethnic spectrum of its community.
