Palmer Drug Abuse Program
The mission of the Palmer Drug Abuse Program is to be the most effective prevention and recovery program helping young people and families avoid or recover from the devastating effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
Our vision is to provide free prevention and long-term drug and alcohol recovery programs of the highest quality that are readily accessible to Houston area youth and their families who may benefit from these services.
Description:
The Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP) has been providing free drug and alcohol recovery services to Houston area young people ages 12-25 and their parents since 1971. Since that time, we have saved thousands of young lives and provided countless others with the tools necessary to achieve and maintain a healthy, productive, substance-free lifestyle.
PDAP currently operates out of five satellite offices located throughout Houston and all of our offices provide a complete set of services for young people who are struggling with substance abuse. Based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, PDAP offers crisis intervention, client assessments and referrals, twelve-step support group meetings for both young people and their parents, individual and family counseling sessions, recovery groups and educational workshops for teens and families, retreats and supervised social activities every weekend.
History:
Father Charlie Wyatt-Brown of Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church saw the need for a supportive, substance abuse recovery program for youth and began one at his church in Houston in 1971. The program has been serving adolescents and families in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area ever since and has helped thousands of Houston youth become fully functioning, contributing members of society.
