The Cause
We need your help to raise $75,000 to support programs that Change Lives and Save Families.
For 40 years, AADAP has been offering critical residential and outpatient treatment and prevention programs to people of all walks of life, and from all communities in Southern California, while also offering culturally appropriate treatment to the diverse clients that come to our doors. Substance abuse continues to be on the rise, even more so during a recession. Fortunately, there are non-profits like AADAP that are here to offer support to those most in need, and offer counseling and treatment so that individuals can return to living drug-free, productive lives in recovery.
