Our vision is a society without addictions.

Discharged from the destructive consequences of drug abuse, but also from outdated concepts, attitudes and practices.

The era of changes we are going through requires and imposes a redefinition of actions and a constant updating, without complacency, in all aspects of social life.

Our Institute is orientated towards parents, guardians, teachers in educational institutions and in general towards those who contribute to the education of young people and teenagers and aims to shield them against the challenges of addictions.

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.
