Project ADAM

You can regain control of your life, and Project ADAM can help. Project ADAM (Alcohol Drug Abuse Ministries) is a non-profit community assistance center in Winder, Georgia, dedicated to addressing drug and alcohol addiction through community education, direct services and family activities. Since its inception in 1980, Project ADAM has made great strides in developing treatment and counseling programs for those dealing with chemical dependency. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, please contact one of our counselors today. We provide clinical alcohol and drug evaluations and custom treatment plans. 

The Project ADAM Community Assistance Center, Incorporated, is a non-profit organization established in 1980.  The program was created by a group of ministers trained in the area of alcohol and drug prevention, early identification, intervention and referral by the Early Warning Project of the Northeast Georgia Community Mental Health/Mental Retardation Center. As a result of federal funding cuts and the subsequent removal of alcohol and drug services from the area, the group of ministers decided to fill the gap by creating Project ADAM to provide a combination of community education, direct services and family activities. Much of the success of Project ADAM has been due to the involvement and support of citizens and service agencies in the Northeast Georgia area.
