UMADAOP Philosophy & Purpose
Our Philosophy
UMADAOP provides programming with the belief that substance abuse is best prevented and treated when the cultural dynamics of a group are addressed and included in the process of prevention, treatment recovery and education. Chemical dependency is viewed as an illness of the total person, which has physiological, psychological, social- cultural and spiritual components that require a holistic approach.
Our Purpose
The primary purpose of the UMADAOPs is to provide culturally appropriate prevention services to African-American and Hispanic/Latino American communities in Ohio. Prevention services strategies include Information Dissemination, Education, Alternatives, Problem Identification and Referral, Community Based Process and Environmental Strategies outlined by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).
