PDAP is more than recovery.
PDAP’s out-of-school-time recovery program remains at the heart of our mission, where teens and their families find a safe, steady, and welcoming space to heal. We are also committed to deepening our impact by expanding the scope of our family and alumni programming and prevention and education programs to help families. PDAP offers coaching, parent groups, and our Compass Class to help prevent substance use/abuse and addiction before it can become a problem.

The 12 Steps of Recovery with PDAP

Step 3: Faith

“Made a decision to turn our lives and our will over to the care of a God of our understanding.” The third step involves making a conscious, sound decision to surrender to the higher power of your choice.

People in a recovery program take different paths in their quest for a faith that is not allied with any particular religion, sect or denomination. And yet, they all get to experience this empowering virtue by the sheer energy of revelation. Ultimately, faith comes down to having total confidence, belief, and trust in a Higher Power or God as you may understand Him. Our faith grows when we take action and see the positive evidence of faith in all activities around us.

Transparency is vital for a nonprofit organization to build trust, secure funding, and maintain accountability. Openly sharing financial data, program outcomes, and governance practices fosters credibility, directly increasing donor confidence and support. Transparent organizations also strengthen their reputation, improve operational efficiency, and ensure ethical alignment with their mission. PDAP has been recognized by several 3rd party independent sources to be a trusted and secure organization.

Did you know that more than 30% of teens have an anxiety disorder? Nearly 40% of adolescent girls will have an anxiety disorder (compared to ~25% of boys). Anxiety is a major risk factor for substance use and addiction. Depression is also higher among teens than the general population - also a risk factor for substance use and addiction.

Teen brains are not fully developed at their age which means recovery and sobriety IS possible and likely (if desired). Early treatment and being surrounded by positive peer pressure (like in PDAP's APG) makes recovery within reach.

PDAP stands up for all teens and today we recognize the strong young women in our program, their mothers who are walking the road to recovery with them, and all the women around the world who believe in us and them. Thank you!

12 Steps of Recovery with PDAP

Step 2: Hope

"Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” The second step involves turning towards a power or force greater than yourself. Hope and faith keep recovery motivated, sustaining the belief that a higher power will aid in healing from addiction.

This step encourages us to be open to new ideas and possibilities that may aid in our recovery. When we learn to be open, we stop judging and placing expectations; this in return allows us to be teachable and grow. As discussed in Step One, we continue to learn to let go of control.

"Hope guides me. It is what gets me through the day and especially the night."
