What Project ADAM does

Project ADAM (Alcohol Drug Abuse Ministries) is a non-profit community assistance center incorporated in Georgia and operating since 1980 from its headquarters at 112 Lanthier Street, Winder, Georgia. Founded by a group of ministers trained in addiction prevention through the Early Warning Project of the Northeast Georgia Community Mental Health/Mental Retardation Center, the organization was created to fill service gaps left by federal funding cuts and now delivers a full continuum of substance use disorder treatment to adults and adolescents in the Northeast Georgia region.

The service portfolio comprises nine core offerings anchored on a single integrated clinical platform: a CARF-accredited 39-bed ASAM Level III.1 residential treatment program (12-month minimum, male clients age 19+), CARF-certified ASAM Level I intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, a Georgia DDS-certified DUI School/Risk Reduction Program (RRP 0290), Drug Court services for the Piedmont Judicial Circuit Felony Drug Court (18-24 month, four-phase protocol), SAMHSA-approved Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), court-ordered and voluntary drug testing (10-panel, 5-panel, NIDA/DOT, breath alcohol, hair follicle, saliva), 10-week anger management courses, State/DHR-approved clinical evaluations at $110 plus $10 drug screen, and a broad modality library spanning CBT, Moral Reconation Therapy, Relapse Prevention, Prime for Life, and Prime Solutions. Medical oversight is provided by Medical Director Dr. Ganiat Jaiyesinmi Ajayi, a psychiatry, addiction medicine, and addiction psychiatry specialist.

Revenue is generated through a mix of self-pay unit pricing (DUI School $360, IOP $40/group, evaluations $120), insurance and Medicaid billing for outpatient services, government contracts (Piedmont Judicial Circuit Drug Court, with ~250 individuals served since March 2012), employer Drug-Free Workplace contracts (serving ~2,000 individuals in 2021 across municipalities, school districts, and enterprises such as Johns Manville, Zaxby's, Arby's, Harrison Poultry, and Hills Ace Hardware), and minor-cost residential fees. Go-to-market is overwhelmingly referral-driven rather than marketing-driven, with 25+ documented community and agency partners, an intake funnel based on a phone line, online questionnaire, and court/employer referrals, and a UGA School of Social Work academic partnership providing a clinical talent pipeline. The underlying technology footprint is clinical and accreditation-based rather than software-based; no proprietary platform, app, API, or AI components are evident.
