Counseling for alcohol-related problems is essential to break the cycle of addiction and to continue to remain abstinent. AADP provides case management services including medical supervision and counseling referrals for all that participate. All clients participate voluntarily. Referrals to the program come from a variety of sources including employers, doctors, family members and the courts. At times, the participant may initiate contact with AADP.

All participants begin the program with a 2 1/2 hour orientation meeting. During this time they are medically evaluated to determine if they are eligible to receive the Antabuse. If deemed eligible, the prescription is written. Participants are then required to take the medication under close medical supervision three times each week. AADP’s medical staff includes a team of local professionals and physicians.
