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."

Happy Rodeo Season, Houston!

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is such an amazing event for our city and it can be a tricky time for those in recovery or choosing sobriety.

Every weekend hosts Sober Socials, which provide the supportive structure that facilitates positive peer pressure and reinforces the key protective factors against substance use/abuse. We build relationships, confidence, belonging, purpose, and social connectedness while demonstrating how to exist in the world while remaining sober. Substances are not necessary to have fun.
