The Partnership Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse was organized, developed and incorporated by the Newport Task Force in 1994.

It has funded and given small grants to the OSSOM (Oregon Student Safety on the Move) program at Newport High School, Grad Night, Parent Network Forums, The Newport High School Health Center, Red Ribbon Programs, Summer Youth Programs through the Housing Authority and Centro de Ayuda.

The Drug Free Workplace Committee, a sub-committee of PAADA, has been constantly working to encourage more employers and government agencies to establish Drug Free Workplace.

Partnership Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse is implementing the Fatal Vision Program in the community, which educates people, especially in the hospitality industry, about the dangers of being intoxicated, especially while driving or operating any type of machinery or mechanical devices.
