Vision
Our vision is comprised of a society free of addiction and drug-related dependency. We envision a society with no drugs and drug-related addictive substances, outdated perceptions as well as practices.
Nowadays, we are going through an era of unprecedented changes which requires us to redefine and consolidate the various phases of social life with the use of modern practices and methods; especially in all those fields where old-fashioned practices appear to prevail.
Our vision is to inform young individuals with regards to drug addiction with the aim to produce change in already-existing dysfunctional drug-related perspectives.

The P.A.D.A. Institute
Following the foundation of the P.A.D.A. Institute, our operations officially began on the 21st of March 2022. We launched our first meeting at the President Hotel where the P.A.D.A. team met with stakeholders and representatives from several social and scientific groups and discussed about the ongoing problem of drug addiction. Yannis Rachovitsas, the President and Founder of the Institute, discussed the first steps and activities in relation to the Institute's actions with all attendees. Associate expert scientists of the P.A.D.A. Institute from several Balkan countries attended the meeting too. The discussion was fruitful and P.A.D.A. aspires to provide information on the epidemic of drugs within the realistic dimensions of the problem.
