The National Association for the Prevention of Teenage Addiction - NAPTA, was created to arrest the escalating use of deadly drugs within our high schools…responding directly to the urgent requests from area superintendents and fearful parents. It is our mission to reach out to young people in any city, town, region, or state, and from one individual to thousands, from black to white, rich to poor, brilliant to challenged, healthy to ill, supported to abandoned, functional to handicapped, famous to forgotten, law abiding to criminal, loved to discarded, full of hope to laden with despair, and provide them with the only provision they need to avoid the pain and anguish of addiction: The truth.
