ADAPT (A Division for Advancing Prevention & Treatment) is a division within the Center for Drug Policy and Prevention at the University of Baltimore. The mission of ADAPT is to advance knowledge, skills, and quality outcomes in the field of substance use prevention and to support successful integration of strategies informed by the best available evidence into communities.
ADAPT supports the National High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program by operationalizing the National HIDTA Prevention Strategy. ADAPT assists HIDTAs with implementing and evaluating substance use prevention practices within their unique communities. ADAPT also keeps HIDTA communities up to date with advances in the prevention science. A variety of trainings and technical webinars to cultivate, nurture, and support hospitable systems for implementation are offered throughout the year.
