Welcome to McCracken County ASAP

At McCracken County ASAP (Agency for Substance Abuse Policy), we believe in the power of community, compassion, and collaboration. Our coalition is made up of dedicated partners from various sectors, all united by a common goal: to prevent substance use and misuse, and to support recovery for every individual in McCracken County. 

As you explore our website, you'll find resources aimed at fostering a healthier, safer environment for everyone. We recognize that substance misuse affects not just individuals, but families and communities as a whole. That's why we engage with local organizations, law enforcement, and community members to create initiatives that resonate with the diverse needs of our population. 

Our approach is rooted in inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and we are committed to providing person-centered support that empowers individuals and families to make informed choices. Through educational programs, advocacy efforts, and outreach initiatives, we strive to reduce the stigma associated with substance misuse and promote understanding and acceptance within our community. 

At McCracken County ASAP, our mission is clear: we aim to cultivate an environment where prevention, treatment, and recovery are not just accessible, but tailored to meet the specific needs of each person. We invite you to join us in this vital work—whether you're seeking assistance, looking to get involved, or simply wanting to learn more about our efforts. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future for all residents of McCracken County. 

We are excited to share our resources and connect with you as we work hand in hand to support recovery and promote a culture of prevention. Your journey matters, and together, we can make a difference.
