NADAP

What NADAP does

NADAP (National Association on Drug Abuse Problems) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1971 and headquartered in New York City, providing an integrated portfolio of social services to underserved New Yorkers across New York City and Long Island. The organization operates five primary service lines: (1) Health Home Care Coordination, a Medicaid-funded care management program serving individuals with chronic physical and behavioral health conditions in NYC, Nassau, and Suffolk counties since 2012; (2) Health Insurance Education & Enrollment, delivered through NY State of Health-certified bilingual Navigators, which has enrolled 55,000+ individuals into coverage since inception; (3) the Substance Use Centralized Assessment Program (SUCAP), which has conducted 800,000+ substance use disorder assessments and referred nearly 500,000 individuals to a network of 400+ treatment providers since 1997; (4) Workforce Development, operating seven distinct programs including CES, CareerCompass, PACE, NCES, the Nassau Employment Initiative, HCBS, and the opioid-settlement-funded WIN program launched in June 2025; and (5) the Maternal Health Program (M-WRAP) serving pregnant and postpartum individuals with substance use disorders. NADAP's technology stack centers on LEARN@NADAP, a Moodle-based online learning platform with mobile app access supporting participant education and staff training. The organization employs approximately 400 staff across seven physical offices and mobile teams deployed at NYCHA buildings, shelters, and community centers, with documented outcomes including up to 72% reduction in hospital days for Health Home clients, 82% of clients showing improved mental and physical health within six months, 18,500+ career assessments completed annually, and 650+ individuals placed in employment annually.

NADAP's revenue model is fundamentally that of a contracted-services nonprofit rather than a commercial enterprise. All services are provided free of charge to eligible clients. The organization reported an annual budget of $30 million, derived primarily from multi-year government contracts with New York State agencies (OASAS, OTDA, DOH, Education Department) and New York City agencies (Human Resources Administration), supplemented by Nassau County Department of Social Services contracts, individual and corporate donations, and proceeds from annual fundraising events including galas and casino nights. Under President & CEO John A. Darin's leadership since 1997, NADAP has scaled roughly 25-fold in headcount and 35-fold in client volume; recent strategic activity includes the November 2023 opening of the Suffolk County office, the June 2025 launch of the WIN program funded by Nassau County's opioid settlement allocation, and restoration of $11.4M in NYS OASAS vocational funding in FY2025.
