About Palmer Drug Abuse Program

The Palmer Drug Abuse Program (or PDAP...pronounced "Puh-Dap") provides people tools to successfully prevent substance abuse, delay its onset, or reduce substance abuse-related behaviors.
Download Our Brochure

Young people today are faced with an increasing amount of opportunities to abuse alcohol and/or drugs
and fewer opportunities for drug-free social interactions.

PDAP provides a positive, safe place where teenagers can feel they belong, share their struggles, and
talk to counselors. Teenagers and young adults are encouraged to come to PDAP when they are not in school or work.
While at PDAP, they can socialize in a non-threatening, sober environment.

Testimonials

E.S. AGE 28
I have been devastated with drug addiction for the past 12 years of my life. After being consecutively broken throughout the years, I found myself utterly hopeless. It was at this time that I desperately reached out for one last attempt, and I found PDAP (Palmer Drug Abuse Program). Through working their program and attending their meetings, I have found hope for the first time in my life. I now have 7 months sober and a renewed sense for life. Thank you PDAP, I am eternally grateful.
