AOCD - Asociación Olontense Contra la Droga

AOCD (Asociación Olontense Contra la Droga) is a NGO created in 1993 with main objective of intervening in the field of addictions and prevention in the school environment. Aware of the importance of school education in the formation of a person, our Association is working, since 2002, in school field, with projects to prevent addicted substances consumption and to prevent the school failure. The entity, with national scope, is implementing projects in Andalucía and Extremadura Spanish regions. We are currently developing projects which include the three scopes which are related to addiction problems: - PREVENTION: we act before things happen. We develop universal and selective preventive projects; prevention which is recommended in different fields: schools, families and in the local community. - SUPPORT: we support people who have addition and family problems. - SOCIAL REHABILITATION: once we have developed a detoxification project or once we have paid a visit to prison, we support our users in order to improve their social-laboral rehabilitation. We have a net of strong and well-organized alliances:  Schools: we develop several levels of preventive school projects, both in primary and secondary school.  Social scope: We are in permanent with all the actors involved in our projects.
