Urban Minority Outreach
Resource Details
The Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Programs (UMADAOP) of Ohio believe that substance misuse is best prevented and treated when the cultures of a group are recognized and embraced.
Prevention strategies include giving information information, education, providing healthy alternatives, problem identification and referral, community-based process and environmental strategies outlined by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).
UMADAOPs of Ohio also conduct programming to achieve OhioMHAS' four prevention goals:
To increase abstinence from alcohol and illicit drug use
To defer the onset of alcohol use
To eliminate high-risk use of alcohol and other legal drugs
To impact environmental risk factors in communities
