Founded in 1972, the Archdiocese of New York Drug Abuse Prevention Program serves the schools and parishes within the New York Archdiocese. During its thirty-five year history, ADAPP has been recognized on the national and state level for the quality of its services and programs.

ADAPP offers substance abuse prevention services, which are based on current
health research, to youth in grades K through 12, to school staff and to
parents. Programs are constantly expanding to address diverse
populations and current trends. Crisis intervention, suicide
assessment and bullying prevention are recent  additions
to our services.

ADAPP is a 501-3C non-profit organization that receives
funding from federal, state and local governments as
well as private and corporate foundations and
charitable contributions.
