The Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP) was founded in 1971 in Houston, Texas when a man named Bob Meehan, who was a recovering addict, built a friendship with Father Charlie Wyatt-Brown at the Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church. Father Charlie realized the need for a supportive substance abuse recovery program for youth and he developed a strong vision about reaching young people lost on drugs and bringing them into a new, sober lifestyle.


He began his quest at his church in Houston as a local support group, and the program has been serving the greater Houston Metropolitan Area ever since. The PDAP program has evolved into a national support program and has helped literally thousands of Houston youth become fully functioning and contributing members of the community. Since 1971, many people have continued to spread this vision and have shared their experience, recovery, love and understanding to many more new people.

PDAP is Growing Even Today

PDAP has been so successful that it has been replicated in nine cities in the U.S., seven of which are in Texas, one in Hobbs, NM, and one in Tulsa, OK.
