Supporting CeASAR

Substance abuse is America's number one health problem. Its economic impact is staggering, measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars in medical costs and reduced productivity. Among adolescents, substance abuse is associated with the three leading causes of death - motor vehicle crashes and other unintentional injuries, homicides and suicides.

Due to increased demand, the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, our clinical arm, has gone from a half-day per week diagnostic program to a five-time per week program. Our capacity has more then tripled and we have expanded our services dramatically. In order to respond to the growing demand for its services and to establish a critical mass of clinical activity necessary for financial stability, ASAP plans to continue expanding the program. This expansion plan is fundamental to ASAP's long-term viability.

ASAP is a model, life-saving program that helps adolescents and their parents overcome the devastating effects of substance abuse.
