Palmer Drug
Abuse Program's Mission Statement
The mission of the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, San Antonio, (PDAP)
is to help young people, adults, family members and the community
overcome the effects of mind-changing chemicals
WHAT IS PDAP?
The Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP) is a fellowship of young people,
parents, and concerned community leaders who have joined forces to
solve common problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse. PDAP
staff members and participants help others recover from the effects
of mind-changing chemicals and work with the abusersŐ families by
sharing their experiences in an atmosphere of love and understanding.
PDAP is non-sectarian and is open to anyone FREE of charge. PDAP is
a three-part family program which provides individual and group support
for both teenagers and adults who express a desire to find an alternative
to drug and alcohol use; for the parents who seek solutions to family
and personal conflicts arising from drug or alcohol use by a family
member; and for the younger brothers and sisters of drug abusing siblings
or parents. The astounding fact is that the cost of the Palmer Drug
Abuse Program per participant currently is approximately $30.00 for
one whole month of services. Yet this program is FREE to all who come
to us for help.
PDAP IS:
* FREE to all Participants.
* For the whole Family: Teenagers, Adults, Parents, and the Siblings
and Children of Abusers.
PDAP PROVIDES:
* Help for those whose lives have become unmanageable due to the effects
of drug and alcohol use and abuse.
* Individual and Group Support.
* Twelve Steps to Recovery Program.
* "Straight" Friends and Positive Peer Groups.
* Group Support for Family Members.
* Weekly Meetings, Activities, and Parties (all so vital to chemical-free
living).
