The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs’ (DDAP) mission is to engage, coordinate and lead the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s effort to prevent and reduce drug, alcohol and gambling addiction and abuse; and to promote recovery, thereby reducing the human and economic impact of the disease. To successfully achieve this mission data regarding consumption, risk and protective factors, consequences and gambling must be available to Single County Authorities (SCAs) as well as local provider agencies and coalitions so that they can effectively assess needs and evaluate the effectiveness of their programs. Further, this data will support organizations in data driven decision-making processes and strategic planning at the state and local levels. Most importantly, this data aims to help prevent as many Pennsylvanians as possible from becoming addicted and help those who are suffering from the disease of addiction.
