About AADAP – Asian American Drug Abuse Program – Therapeutic Community – Los Angeles, California

The Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) Therapeutic Community (TC) is in Los Angeles, California. They have a substance use disorder treatment program based on the client centered TC. They integrate this treatment model with a chronic disease assessment.

The program has CARF accreditation and is licensed by the State of California. The TC is a small community that reflects the larger at large community. It’s an environment built especially for learning. The residents live there 24/7 and learn from each other.

Some of the services in the TC include but aren’t limited to, individual, group, and family counseling, case management, and recovery support services. They also have life skills and nutrition classes as well as a wellness group and anger management classes.

They do random urinalysis testing when you’re in the TC. You’ll also take part in recreational and social activities, and outings. When you leave, there are support services and aftercare services to help you maintain sobriety.

If you need to stay out in the community, they also have an outpatient unit. They offer treatments that take into account your environmental, cultural, and emotional needs.

The AADAP also has a prevention unit working with the wider community to help deal with underlying factors that lead to problems with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. They have youth and family programs that help youths at risk for gang affiliation.

Be sure to check and see if they take your insurance. Some former clients noted that the staff is strict but they loved the program and found it helpful.
