"You can't keep it unless you give it away"  In response to an overwhelming demand for Daytop Treatment Services, from countries around the world, Daytop International was established in 1984. During the past sixteen years Daytop International has assisted over sixty-six countries in establishing treatment programs based on the self-help social learning model. Working from a global community perspective we recognize that solving our substance abuse problems requires a collaborative effort. As drug use and addiction emerge in nearly every country around the world, the impact is undeniably devastative on individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole. Daytop's desire for a Drug Free World demands that we share our experiences, in the field of drug treatment, with our brothers and sisters around the world. Daytop International provides training, technical assistance and support to countries responding to this global problem.
