Message from the Chairman of the Board Karl K. Nobuyuki

I would like to welcome you to the 2007-2008 AADAP Annual Report. Year after year, AADAP continues to be a beacon of hope for thousands of families whose homes are affected by substance abuse and poverty. AADAP’s motto “People Need People” embodies the heart of the services that it provides. We truly believe that connecting with each other and always being willing to give a helping hand is the way to heal our broken families and bring the community together.

Towards the end of the year, the agency initiated a process of Organizational Analysis for future planning. This step was taken in order to reassess the state of the agency and survey staff perceptions, in hopes of discovering ways to improve our agency.

We also celebrated the addition of a new member to our Board of Directors, Ronald Ikejiri, the Mayor Pro Tem of the City of Gardena. Ronald is a welcome addition to our Board and brings much needed energy and fresh ideas to the table.

On behalf of the AADAP Board and Staff, I would like to thank all of our supporters who are the life of this agency, and we ask for your continued support as AADAP strives to keep on providing the much needed services to our communities.

Karl K. Nobuyuki Chairman of the Board

Message from the President & CEO, Mike Watanabe

As I look back on all my years at AADAP, I see what an incredible journey this agency has gone through, experiencing both ups and downs. This was a very challenging year for AADAP due to further funding reductions from the County. Despite these cuts, we have been able to sustain most of our services. Our agency is constantly moving forward, and AADAP took the necessary steps to meet the growing demands for our services.

In August, we successfully purchased a new corporate building located at 2900 South Crenshaw Boulevard. The administration made the move in October along with the Prevention Unit. The move and a successful Open House held in December accomplished a great deal for the long-term establishment of the agency in the community.

The new building provided our Youth and Family Programs (YFP) with much needed space to accommodate all their programs. Moving out of the 5318 Crenshaw building did pose some concerns about isolating Therapeutic Community (TC), but it also enabled TC to prepare for the expansion of their program.

After the move, we started the process of refi nancing the newer buildings. This decision was made in light of the funding cuts that we sustained, and in trying to fi nd ways to continue providing high quality services. After careful consideration and evaluation, we not only secured a municipal bond for the new corporate building, but we also issued a State-tax free bond to refi nance the Jim Goodman and 1088 La Brea buildings and refi nanced Olympic Academy with a State Infrastructure Loan. The latter provided us with about $160,000 for much-needed renovations, while reducing the interest rate for Olympic Academy. These refi nances will ultimately save our agency over $1,700,000 in interest savings over the next 10 years.

AADAP also took steps towards expansion within the units. The Prevention Unit had been fl ourishing in terms of growth and development, and this led to the need for reorganization to more successfully develop the impact of their programs in the community. Prevention was therefore reorganized into two separate units: Prevention and Youth and Family Programs (YFP). Susan Park stepped in as the new Prevention Director and Jose Esqueda was promoted to YFP Director. We were also able to successfully recruit and hire a new Development Director, Arnel Dino, who comes to us with a plethora of experience in community-based organizations.

This has been a year of changes, and we would not have made it through without the dedicated support of our donors, partners, and friends. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in us and in AADAP.

Mike Watanabe, MSW President & CEO

AADAP PROGRAMS

The Asian American Drug Abuse Program provides services in a comprehensive holistic manner to respond to the needs of our clients. Accordingly, AADAP’s services are divided into separate, specialized units.

Employment AccessAADAP is one of the few agencies in the state of California that integrates employment services with drug rehabilitation. The Employment Access Unit works with clients who are in recovery for substance abuse problems. Services include job search assistance, pre-employment counseling, computer training, GED classes, and job development and placement, among many others.

Olympic AcademyThe Olympic Academy (OA) is a residential youth treatment center that aims to provide youth (ages 14-17) with a comprehensive treatment program that includes education, counseling and other services. This 16-bed facility offers a safe and familial environment where youth are able to develop self-direction, leadership, and character.

Outpatient UnitThe Outpatient Unit provides treatment to adult clients with consideration to various cultural, environmental and emotional factors. The Unit consists of the following four major programs: Day Treatment/Perinatal Program, Outpatient Drug-Free, HIV/AIDS Outreach Services, and Drug Court.

Prevention UnitThe Prevention Unit works to combat the underlying factors contributing to drug, alcohol and tobacco use in the community through targeted interventions and strategies. The Unit consists of Community Prevention (CP), Indo-Chinese Youth and Community Center (IYCC), and the Youth Outpatient Program (YO).

Residential UnitThe Residential Unit, referred to as the “Therapeutic Community” or “TC” serves as a 24-hour live-in program providing a protective, supportive environment for an intensive 12-18 month period of treatment.

Youth and Family ProgramsYouth and Family Programs (YFP) provides services that focus mainly on gang prevention and intervention. This unit targets high-risk youth and involves them in various after-school and weekend programs, while counseling them at the same time.

ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT

The Administrative Unit handles many various tasks that are necessary to keep the agency running smoothly and effi ciently. This year the Administrative Unit underwent a big transition when it moved to its new building located at 2900 South Crenshaw Boulevard. This new building provided much needed space and visibility for the agency.

The biggest accomplishment this year were all the long awaited renovations at all the

buildings. In addition, the agency’s technology was upgraded to Voice Over IP (VOIP), the 2900 building gained wireless internet capabilities, the email system was expanded to improve agency communication, and the fi scal server was upgraded to meet increasing demands.

The biggest challenge this year was integrating the new YFP unit into the Admin system. Various adjustments had to be made

in order for this unit to become functional on its own. With the cooperation of the staff we were able to accomplish this quickly and effi ciently.

Development:The Development Department

deals with not only Showtime, but coordinates all the grants and contract proposals for AADAP. As an agency we submitted 25 grants and contract proposals,

and we were able to secure funding from sources such as United Way, DPSS, LA County Department of Probation, Asian Pacifi c Community Fund and the City of LA AIDS Program.

In efforts to provide further outreach into the ethnic communities, the AADAP brochure was translated into Khmer, Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish. The Development Director, Susan Park, also spear-headed the creation of a PSA (Public Service Announcement) in Korean that now airs on the local Korean TV channels and greatly increases AADAP’s visibility.

Showtime 2007 was another smashing success and exceeded last year’s fundraising goal. Corrinne May graced the stage as our main act and captivated the audience with her soul-stirring sounds, and the On Ensemble troupe livened up the crowd with their resounding Taiko drumming beats. AADAP thanks all of the staff and supporters who contributed to the amazing success of Showtime.

EMPLOYMENT ACCESS UNIT

Daisy Asis-Nakanishi,Employment Access Director

This past year saw a hard-working and productive staff at Employment Access (EA). The dedication of the staff to providing the essential services to the community was apparent in the excellent quality of their programs. One of the goals of Employment Access is to empower and prepare youth to be successful in the working world. This year they held a career exploration event that was attended by 30 in-school and out-of-school youth

who were just about to enter the workforce. Each youth who participated underwent at least 18 hours of job-readiness training under the direction of the EA staff. The performance outcomes not only met, but exceeded their already lofty goals.

EA also has been providing reentry and transition services at Camp Louis Routh in collaboration with LACOE for the past four years. They partnered together to develop a manual entitled “Securing My Future”, which is a tool for camp transitioning for youthful offenders. An EA staff, Michelle Martin, was recognized for her excellent work at Camp Routh and was invited to participate in a Transitions Conference hosted by the Sacramento County Offi ce of Education.

Despite all their valiant efforts, Employment Access is being affected by the massive cuts to Manpower Development programs from the county. EA has held up amazingly well in spite of these cuts and has outlasted many other county–funded agencies, however, it is now starting to catch up with EA. Without further funding and support, EA’s very existence is being threatened. Despite these challenges we will continue efforts to reestablish the excellent programs in employment that we have done in the past.

OLYMPIC ACADEMY

In fi scal year 2007-2008, the average rate of retention at the Olympic Academy (OA) increased from 150 to 185 days, representing a 23% increase in the average length of stay. This is directly attributable to the consistent attendance of the majority of parents at Olympic Academy’s family support group. At least 10 families attend each meeting and the parents have become our partners in their youth’s recovery.

The Los Angeles Unified School District continues to be an important partner in the youth’s treatment. This school year, OA was very proud to have five of their students earn high school diplomas. Two of these graduates will be attending community college, and the remaining three plan to enroll in college next semester.

Providing services to the API population continues to be a priority at OA. This year we were able to provide services to 14 API youth: 12 of Korean descent and 2 of Japanese descent. The success in the Korean population is a testament to the effectiveness of AADAP in reaching out to the local ethnic communities. Moreover, we discovered that OA’s reputation is reaching far beyond the boundaries of LA County, and has served youth from Orange County to Virginia and everywhere in between. OA continues to receive phone calls from other parts of the country for information about their services.

OA continues to ensure that the staff are properly trained and well-equipped to provide services to the youth residents by going above and beyond the mandated trainings required by the contract agreements. In addition to HIV/AIDS, fi rst aid, CPR, and Group

Home Administrator trainings, the staff participated in various supplemental trainings such as Children and Trauma, Teens and Addiction, and Methamphetamines and Gay youth.

OUTPATIENT UNIT

Glenn Andres,Outpatient Director

The Outpatient Unit experienced a major transition this year. Throughout the year the Unit experienced funding cuts from the CalWORKS and Proposition 36 funding sources. Despite these cuts the Unit was able to increase its financial base and reported a 9% increase in funding.

Three completion ceremonies were held this year. Two were from the Drug Court Program with 44 graduates bringing our

total to 361 since the inception of the Drug Court Program. The other graduation ceremony occurred in the Day Treatment Program with 18 female graduates.

The Alumni group continues to play a key role in encouraging clients to complete and support the programs. Graduates continue to participate in program activities and graduation ceremonies. This has provided strength to our programs, as we require prospective graduates to attend meetings as a pre-requisite to graduation.

Outpatient continues in its commitment to providing services to underserved API communities. Project FACT (Families Coming Together to Fight Substance Abuse In the Asian/Pacific Islander Communities), now in its third year, is again making great strides within the Korean community. Local media has proven to be the best form of outreach to the Korean community. When an article is published or an interview is aired, the number of calls increase greatly.

Project FACT has also focused on conducting Cambodian and Samoan outreach and education as part of its third year implementation plan. This has been a daunting task due to the

limited local resources available and other cultural barriers. Efforts to increase contact in these populations has always been an ongoing challenge amongst the staff, but we are not deterred by it. The staff continues to think of innovative ways to reach these groups.

RESIDENTIAL UNIT

James Stinson, Therapeutic Community Director

The direction of the Therapeutic Community (TC) for the past year was to continue to improve services to the residents and recapture some of the old traditions that had been lost in time. Three unit goals that were considered essential to improving treatment were established early on and the rest of the year was spent driving towards those goals. The three goals were: improving communication, consistency,

and accountability amongst the treatment team.The TC Residents and Staff were sad to see the

Administration Unit move to the new building, because their presence in the TC helped to promote the concept of family. Their moving created a void in TC dynamics and made it necessary to re-evaluate how to utilize the facility. Fortunately, addressing this void created the opportunity to enlarge the staff offices, recreation room, family room and TV room. The library was enlarged to accommodate a fully-functional computer lab.

This year the number of clients served decreased slightly, but this number reflects the fact that retention rates have improved. In comparison to last year more residents completed at the least their court mandated stay, and this says a lot about the improvement in the quality of service.

This can be best seen in the success rate with the Prop- 36 clients, who are characteristically known to be the hardest of all to motivate. Prop 36 clients tend to adopt a “revolving door” mentality, because of the many chances the system gives them before they are sent to prison. This year there was

less turnover and a large increase in clients that stayed in treatment until they were allowed by the court to complete or transfer to an outpatient setting.

PREVENTION UNIT

Susan Park,Prevention Director

Community Prevention (CP) outreach into the Korean South Bay communities has expanded into Torrance, and continues to be very successful. Korean American Community Roundtable meetings have taken off this year and representatives from 9 community organizations are in the midst of planning collaborative workshops for August 2008. CP was also able to conduct a drug use survey in the Filipino Community, and

the emergent data was presented in a forum on alcohol and drugs in October, 2007. AADAP was recognized by the city of Carson for organizing and facilitating the forum. Further efforts by CP led to the declaration of Red Ribbon Week in the City of Carson, which is the country’s largest and longest anti-drug abuse campaign.

The Indochinese Youth and Community Center (IYCC) successfully serviced 97 Vietnamese immigrant participants in need of employment through the VIET program. Participants attended workshops

that focused on resume writing, interviewing skills and job searches. Approximately 75% of all participants found employment within 3 months of enrolling in the program.

The Cambodian Youth Group at Long Beach

Polytechnic High School began the year with a group of 12 youth and grew to 20 by the end of the school year. The group sessions were designed to empower and educate the Cambodian youth about substance

abuse, gang violence, domestic violence, deportation, ethnic pride, acculturation, immigration issues and the pursuit of higher education.

The Youth Outpatient Treatment (YOT) continued to offer substance abuse treatment services to clients on probation, who are referred by three courtrooms in the Inglewood Juvenile Drug Court, the Department of Probation,

and the LA Unified School District.

One of the highlights this year was when the youth and staff stuffed 60 Christmas stockings with toiletries and candy for all of the AADAP residents. To make the stockings even more special, the

youth personalized each stocking with names and letters, and presented them personally at AADAP’s residential community Christmas dinner.

YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS

Jose Esqueda, Youth and Family Programs Director

Youth and Family Programs (YFP) services focused on gang prevention and intervention this year. YFP continued to address the issue of racial tolerance and anger management skills, which are often the main triggers for violent uprisings on local campuses.

LA Bridges has continued to meet and exceed their program goals. In particular, the Safe Passage program continued to provide effective services throughout

the school year. Parents and YFP Staff created a network in order to provide supervision and patrolling in the areas surrounding the school and immediate community before and after school. According to school offi cials, the Safe Passage Program has been responsible for the decrease in delinquent activities around the school campus.

National Youth Project Using Mini-bikes (NYPUM) held its fi rst annual conference in the city of Torrance. American Honda hosted the three-day conference. Jose Esqueda, YFP Director, was honored at this event for his 18 years of service to NYPUM.

YFP’S Gender-Specifi c home based program continues to be a success. The case managers have established an excellent rapport with the probation offi cers from the surrounding areas to better serve our clients. The case managers have also established a link with the school personnel from various SEA schools to provide their clients an alternative to the traditional school system.
