Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness Resource (RADAR) Network
The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) established the Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness Resource (RADAR) Network to make current prevention information readily available to prevention practitioners at the State and community levels.
The RADAR Network responds to the need for prevention services closer to home, staffed by people who understand the unique assets and liabilities of local communities. The RADAR Network was formed in partnership with State governments and national constituency groups. The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) serves as the national center for information and services, but the satellite centers of the RADAR Network provide local support to prevention practitioners and other community members interested in addressing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug problems.
The Network includes State Centers, State Associate Centers, and Specialty Centers. This is the contact information for your center:
