About PDAP

The Palmer Drug Abuse Program is the oldest substance abuse recovery program for youth in the Houston area.  We provide free prevention, education and counseling services to young people ages 12-25 and their parents.  We have been doing this since 1971, and we have a proven track record of success.

How It Works

PDAP is non-sectarian.  The primary requirement for membership is a desire to live a chemical-free life. There are no fees, paperwork, records, or appointments.

Based on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, PDAP teaches the principles of honesty of self, acceptance, and the path to sobriety within our daily lives, extending our love and understanding to everyone.

We offer crisis intervention, client assessments and referrals, 12-step support group meetings for young people and their parents, individual and family counseling sessions, recovery groups for teens, educational workshops, and supervised weekend retreats and social activities.

How We Operate

PDAP is privately funded.  We accept no government or United Way funding. Instead, PDAP relies on the contributions of the community as our sole source of revenue to provide this free service to the public. There are many ways to donate to PDAP.   To find out the many ways to contribute to PDAP click here.

The Palmer Drug Abuse Program will not share, sell or trade a donor's personal information without prior written permission from the donor.
