On behalf of the Board and Staff of AADAP, I am pleased to share the 2013-2014 Annual Report. Through the years, AADAP has pro-vided hope and restoration to thousands of individuals and families whose lives are im-pacted by substance abuse. AADAP’s motto “People Need People” embodies the heart of the service we provide. Our mission to change lives and save families has had the benefit of bringing about transformation for the people who walk through our doors.

This past year, the Board of Directors focused on implementing changes that will ultimately benefit the long-term health of the agency. The Board pressed forward with updating and refining the Strategic Plan along with the Management Team. The Board was also instrumental in bringing to close the Letter of Credit renewal for the facilities, as well as approving the refinancing of another facil-ity. The retirement plan for staff was also re-viewed and a better, more cost-effective plan was approved.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our supporters and volunteers who gen-erously give of their time and resources. We would not be able to accomplish any of this without you. As we move forward, we ask for your continued support and partnership in providing essential services to our communi-ties.

Ken KasamatsuChairman of the Board

This year, the Board and Management Team convened an annual review of AADAP’s Strategic Plan at our long time partner, All Peoples’ Community Center. We focused on refining our continuing effort to adapt to the Affordable Care Act, or as the President has come to fondly embrace, Obamacare. We have adopted the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) certification process as the vehicle for that preparation and made it the center-piece of our Strategic Plan. CARF certification is a nationally recognized standard of excellence in the field of Substance Use Disorder (SUD).

CARF certification has required us to document our historically excellent programs in every detail and provide new structures and processes to achieve excellence that is quantitatively and qualitatively verifiable to third parties. This massive process took several months of intensive work as we prepared for the auditors. After a thorough audit process in June, we received the exciting news of three-year certification. We will now use that to further our goals tied to Obamacare.

This striving for excellence parallels another effort incorporated in another outstanding achieve-ment this year. This year, we were able to successfully win funding for Employment Access for the West Adams WorkSource Center and rekindle the employment services. The WorkSource Center has required moving Employment Access into the Corporate Building and relocating Youth and Family Program to Leimert Park.

This year, we made significant improvements in our capital financing and retirement plan. With the help of Michael Banner of Los Angeles LDC, we were successful in finding a replacement Letter of Credit with Bank of the West for seven years at favorable rates. Under leadership of the Board’s Finance Committee, we also reviewed our Retirement Plan this year and the decision was made to stay with Nationwide but to update to a new plan that offered greater fiduciary guarantees, larger choices, and significantly lower costs.

The program services continue to provide outstanding services. We change lives and save families by the thousands, and the reports by the Management Team in the following pages testify to that. I am especially moved by the graduates of the programs. Everyone gets help, but they are the ones who demonstrate how much can be achieved by hard work.I thank the Board of Directors, the Management Team, the Coordinators, and all the staff who work directly with the people we serve.

Dean NakanishiAdministrative Director

Administration Unit had a very successful year maintaining opera-tional function in the agency. The contractual audits and site visits produced excellent reviews, and agency risks were minimized. The Administrative staff specifically focused on improving customer service and continued to strategically cross-train within the unit. Several large projects made this year especially challenging. The beginning of the fiscal year brought about the arduous task of refinancing the letter of credit for several buildings, which involved seeking bids, completing analysis and finalizing the changes. A second venture for AADAP was the implementation of Covered California. AADAP agreed to be a supporter to enroll community members into Covered California Health Coverage. Over 20 em-

ployees with multi-lingual capabilities were certified and were able to assist more than 400 people. This program had implementation issues, but the counselors were able to forge through all the prob-lems successfully. On top of all this, the Administration staff played a major role in AADAP becoming CARF certified. CARF stands for the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and is the most recognized behavioral health national private ac-creditation. Since December 2013, weekly meetings were convened to review and address CARF standards throughout AADAP’s poli-cies and procedures. As a result of these hard efforts, AADAP was successfully certified for three years in July 2014.

Development Director

Development Office

The Development efforts support the overall core functions of AADAP. Under the leadership of the Board Development Commit-tee Chair, Michael Yoshiba, AADAP has begun to implement the philosophy of the “7 Thank You’s”. This has led to more conscien-tious communication with supporters and will hopefully lead to stronger relationships.

AADAP brought Showtime 2013 back to Little Tokyo after several years away and celebrated AADAP’s 41st Anniversary at the David Henry Hwang Theatre. The smaller venue ended up creating a more intimate environment and was much easier to manage for the staff and volunteers. The evening program included performances by Hawaiian band Keaiwa, comedian Amy Anderson, and young singer/songwriter Meg Kelley. AADAP also recognized Kerry Doi, President & CEO of Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment

(PACE) with the Leadership Award for his achievements in the field of economic development and for his generous contributions to AADAP.

Team AMP (AADAP Marathon Program) successfully finished it’s third year as the official endurance event training program for AADAP, and as an official charity partner of the ASICS LA Mara-thon. There were 27 participants this year who raised over $20,000 for AADAP’s programs. Despite the scorching weather on the day of the marathon, March 9th, 2014, all of the Team AMP runners successfully finished. This was also the second year in a row that youth and adult clients were given the opportunity to participate, and their involvement has benefited all the other residents including a stronger focus on healthier lifestyle and activities.

The Employment Access (EA) Unit provides essential services to both AADAP clients and the surrounding community. This year marked a significant milestone for AADAP, when EA’s Direc-tor, Daisy Asis-Nakanishi successfully bid for and was awarded a WorkSource contract by the City of Los Angeles. As a result EA will receive funding in the amount of $1,075,000 annually for the next three years to operate the West Adams WorkSource Center. The Center will become an access point of qualified workers and re-sources for businesses under one roof. The Center will serve adults and dislocated workers who are seeking employment, changing jobs, reentering the workforce, or learning new skills and businesses find qualified workers they need. The City of Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department provides the funding and oversight on this Center. Overall, the EA Unit met and exceeded

its quantitative unit goals. The staff provided comprehensive job training and employment services to 467 participants during the program year of which 45 were youth and 422 adults. For the adult participants, 148 participants were provided occupational skills training, 115 attained industry recognized occupational skills train-ing in the areas of security services, computer-related/IT, transporta-tion, and clean energy; 117 participants were placed in unsubsidized employment, achieved 85% job retention rate (the goal is 83% job retention), and the average annual earnings for participants with jobs amounted to $27,435 (the goal is $12,500). For the youth, 19 were placed in post secondary education, 38 participants increased their Literacy and Numeracy gains, 15 obtained industry-related credentials, 17 were placed on Work Experience placements, and 16 were placed in direct unsubsidized job placements.

Olympia Academy

The Olympia Academy (OA) serves a highly specific sector of the population, and faces the unique challenges that come with having a group of teenagers living together while receiving direction and guidance within a “tough love” type of environment. Being a long-term, residential program, with graduates taking 12-18 months on average to complete the program, the number of clients served is not as important as the length of stay per client.

This year, OA was able to serve 51 unduplicated youth residents, with more than half staying longer than 30 days. Overall, the staff was able to reach and even exceed the unit goals by the end of the fiscal year, screening 86 clients (goal 80), and enrolling 51 clients (goal 45).

This year, the OA staff and extended AADAP family were privileged to celebrate graduations from both the program and from high school for several clients. The three program graduates are Sherley W., Gabriel J., and Yanni R. Two of these graduates have been ac-cepted and are planning to attend a 4-year college.

Extracurricular activities are a vital part of the program, and this year OA was able to integrate several new components. Within the last few years, there has been an increased focus on health and well-being, further driven by the alarming statistics of obesity and other health-related issues caused by nutrition and lifestyle among the children and youth in America. As a result, regular Yoga classes have been incorporated into the weekly activities, in addition to the Taekwondo instruction.

OA has also partnered with KYCC to establish an on-going environ-mental education program incorporating some in-classroom and out of classroom seminars, to teach residents and families about environmental issues. Topics addressed included water conservation, tree planting, growing your own vegetables, graffiti removal and neighborhood beautification. This partnership and project has not only educated the residents about their environment, but has also encouraged them to build and attend to a local vegetable garden at OA. For one resident, Ramiro P, it has been an on-going commu-nity service project that he has adopted on his own.

The Outpatient Unit was able to increase the number of clients served significantly, going from 2,252 individuals last year to 4,141 this year, which reflects an 83% increase. This was due to increased funding and program expansion. This was also the first year that the number of Latino participants exceeded the African American.

The greatest highlights of the year was surviving the many challeng-es which included maximizing the SAPC contracts, implementation of the EXYM health care electronic record system, participating in the Covered California enrollment campaign, and revising and inte-grating the CARF certification into the program operations. Each one of these would be a major undertaking in any given year and it surprising to see that we have met these accomplishments with the cooperation and hard work of all AADAP staff.

This year, the Outpatient staff continued outreach efforts in the Rosemead/San Gabriel Valley area by collaborating with Evergreen

Baptist Church and Asian Pacific Family Center Prevention Pro-grams. The staff also worked closely with the San Gabriel Reentry collaborative for AB109 referrals. These efforts, however, have not led to any enrollments in our program, which further emphasizes the need for an AADAP location accessible to the participants in the San Gabriel Valley. Future strategies include efforts to seek funds to meet this need and possibly develop an outpost in the San Gabriel Valley.

This year, the Outreach Unit staff was instrumental with opening a wellness center in the Pueblo Del Rio Housing Development. The previous grant was revised to provide comprehensive health services to underserved residents in SPA 6. The prevous funding efforts with the “I Know Campaign” will no longer focus on young adults and will focus on providing services to Cambodian residents in the Del Pueblo Housing Development.

Prevention Unit

COMMUNITY PREVENTION

After many years of successfully campaigning for and passing better policies at the

city level to help combat underage substance use and abuse, the Community Preven-

tion (CP) staff shifted their focus to post-policy work in Carson and Gardena. This

entailed smaller-scale events and more one-on-one interactions with decision makers,

resulting in less youth group activities and overall lower numbers of total individuals

reached.

However, as the EPS (Environmental Prevention Service) agency for the SPA 8 Coali-

tion, AADAP lead and collaborated with other Prevention contract providers on the

SPA-wide summit on Underage Drinking Prevention in April 2014. This event had

approximately 120 participants from all over the SPA 8.

YOUTH OUTPATIENT

Youth Outpatient Treatment (YOT) served a total of 136 unduplicated clients, which

was a slight decrease from 212 last year. Though YOT experienced some challenges

with funding and more demanding contract requirements, the staff were able to

continue providing critical services to the population of focus. One client in particu-

lar provided a great example of the effectiveness of the services with his continued

participation with YOT. This client graduated from the program in June 2011, and

continued to stay connected with the program by attending group sessions, gradua-

tions, and other activities. He graduated from El Camino College with an associate’s

degree and is now transferring to Chico State University to study Business Adminis-

tration starting fall of 2014.

IYCC

IYCC served a total of 2148 individuals, an increase of 15% from 1866 individuals

last year. The majority of this increase is due to the activities conducted by the Cam-

bodian Community Prevention program through various community activities and

events, including the implementation of an evidence-based practice called Creating

Lasting Family Connections (CLFC) that involves youth and their families. IYCC

participated in the Cambodian New Year Parade in Long Beach with the youth and

their parents to launch the Measure Store Lock campaign for prevention of underage

drinking.

The IYCC staff also continued to successfully run the CalFresh contract, otherwise

known as Food Stamps. The need for food stamps is increasingly apparent as the con-

tract was maxed out early, about 2 months before the fiscal year end. This is an area

of need that IYCC is committed to addressing and as a result of excellent contract

performance; the budget for the next fiscal year has been increased by 25%.

The Therapeutic Community (TC) provides intensive residential services to adults,

viewing each client individually and personalizing treatment based on their needs.

This year the TC provided treatment services to approximately 95 residents and 75%

of those individuals were in treatment for more than 30 days. Although the total

number of clients enrolled is lower than last year’s 103, a closer look at the length

of stay shows that the client retention rate has improved. On an average, residents

are staying 9 months or longer. In addition, consultation and referral services were

provided on the phone to over 350 people, 85% of who were homeless and had no

source of income. Staff made referrals to detox programs, homeless shelters, out

patient drug and alcohol treatment, free food programs, DUI programs, and 12 Step

meeting.

PRIMARY DRUGS OF CHOICELast Year: 2012/13 Current Year: 2013/14

Methamphetamine: (35%) Methamphetamine: (38%)

Cocaine: (23%) Cocaine: (13%)

Heroin: (14%) Heroin: (9%)

Marijuana: (18%) Marijuana: (26%)

Alcohol: (6%) Alcohol: (14%)

Other (4%) Other: 2%)

The drugs of choice among the TC clients provide some interesting insights. One

thing to keep in mind when looking at these numbers is the fact that most individu-

als are poly-substance users. When compared to last year, there is a big increase in

Marijuana and Alcohol as the drug of choice. The staff attributes this to changing

social views of marijuana and the increasingly younger population being enrolled as

well as the AB109 clients, whom are clients coming with criminal cases. The drug of

choice information is important because for the past two years almost one-fourth of

the residents who entered into the program have had some display of psychosis and

needed to be stabilized with medication. Recently this trend has begun to subside.

Adapting to the changes in the field of substance abuse treatment and the evolv-

ing needs of the treatment population is vital in staying relevant. TC has begun to

adapt a broader perspective of how Evidence Based and Client Centered treatment

approaches can be modified to fit the program structure. Another priority has been

the continual integration of electronic record keeping which has positioned itself as a

mandate for the future of working with agencies in the behavioral health field. The

TC will continue to be educated on Medical compliance issues in order to be able to

compete in the new market that the American Care Act is poised to create.

Youth and Family Programs

The importance of a healthy family unit is something that Youth and Family Programs (YFP) emphasizes and strives to help achieve with the clients served through this program. YFP services include comprehensive case management, individual, group and family counseling, youth development, anger management, tutoring, drug education, recreational fieldtrips, community service, parenting classes, and outreach to name a few. Most of the services are pro-vided by staff on school campuses 5 days a week with recreational fieldtrips on Saturdays. Despite the loss of funding, YFP was able to provide services to double the number of families served in the previous year from 323 families to 667. YFP programs and services focused on addressing gang and youth violence through youth

support services, and parent support services. Students and their parents were engaged in a multitude of workshops, and family focused services to enhance parent/youth relations. Fieldtrips were use as tools of motivation, which included trips to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Top Sail, Catalina Island, Mono Lake, Museum of Toler-ance, Family Picnic, Family Movie Day, Long Beach Aquarium and Family Unity Nights. YFP Parenting classes continued two days every week received high reviews for its effectiveness by participating parents. Program outcomes results yield an overall decrease in gang participation and increase in GPA at each school site by more then 68% and attendance by 75%.
