P.A.D.A. Institute envisions a society free from all forms of addiction—one that is healthy, informed, and mentally resilient. At the core of our vision lies the protection of minors from the consequences of drug use and other harmful dependencies, through targeted strategies of prevention, awareness, and empowerment.
In an era of continuous transformation, the need for adaptive action, scientific substantiation, and systematic information-sharing is more imperative than ever, leaving no room for complacency.
We address parents, guardians, educators, academics, and all stakeholders involved in shaping young minds, with the goal of fostering a protective environment against the evolving challenges of addiction.

Following its establishment, the official launch of P.A.D.A. Institute took place on March 21, 2022. The inaugural meeting was held at the President Hotel, where P.A.D.A. team convened with representatives from institutional, social, and scientific sectors to discuss the multifaceted nature of addiction in depth. The Institute’s Founder and President, Mr. Giannis Rachovitsas, presented the core principles, vision, and initial organizational framework of Anti-Drug Action, along with the planning of forthcoming initiatives. The meeting also welcomed expert collaborators from various Balkan countries, who shared their experiences and insights from their respective national contexts—contributing meaningfully to a constructive intercultural dialogue. The discussion proved both substantial and fruitful, underscoring the urgent need for a realistic, evidence-based approach to the phenomenon of drug addiction—an approach which P.A.D.A. is committed to advancing with consistency and scientific integrity.
