Company Overview
Founded in 1972, AADAP (Asian American Drug Abuse Program) was established with a mission to improve community health through substance abuse treatment, prevention education, and support for education and employment opportunities. The organization emerged in response to a tragic rise in drug overdoses among Asian American youth during the 1970s. Since then, AADAP has grown into a comprehensive nonprofit agency offering a wide range of services, including Drug Court programs, gang prevention, job training through WorkSource, HIV/AIDS outreach, tobacco education, and even a social enterprise—MTC Construction.

Today, AADAP remains deeply committed to delivering culturally competent and linguistically accessible services. With programs offered in 12 languages, the organization continues to help individuals achieve sobriety, self-sufficiency, and become contributing members of society.
