Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration): Federal agency within HHS that is a Core partner of APC and provides national leadership, grant funding, and resources for substance use prevention. SAMHSA operates at federal scale and sets the policy/curricular frameworks (e.g., Mental Health First Aid) that APC delivers locally.
• Shatterproof: National nonprofit focused on ending addiction through evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery support. Shatterproof operates at significantly larger scale than APC and addresses the same substance use disorder mission, making it the closest broad-incumbent peer.
• The Kennedy Forum: National organization advancing addiction policy, prevention, and recovery support. Operates at broader policy/advocacy scale than APC but addresses overlapping substance use disorder prevention outcomes.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large national addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery organization offering direct clinical services that APC does not provide. Comparable as a broadly incumbent player in the broader addiction-services space APC operates within.

Direct peers

• SAFE Project: National nonprofit focused on substance use prevention, addiction support, and recovery, including naloxone distribution and overdose prevention. Operates overlapping programs (overdose response, prevention education) to APC's portfolio.
• Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA): National membership organization supporting community coalitions dedicated to substance use prevention. APC's convener/coalition model in Central Alabama is structurally identical to CADCA's supported coalition framework.
• National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD): National advocacy and education organization dedicated to fighting alcoholism and drug addiction; APC displays the NCADD logo as an affiliation. NCADD provides a national umbrella network that local coalitions like APC plug into.
• Drug Free America Foundation: National nonprofit dedicated to drug-free living through prevention, education, and advocacy. Operates in the same prevention/education space as APC and shares a comparable donor-supported nonprofit model.
• Partnership for Drug-Free Kids: National family-focused substance use prevention organization with which APC maintains a listed community partnership. Operates in the same prevention-education and family-support category and shares mission alignment around youth and parental prevention.

Regional players

• Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH): State mental health authority that is a formal Core partner of APC. ADMH operates statewide substance use and mental health programming, overlapping with APC's regional mission in Alabama but serving a much broader statewide footprint as a government entity.
