    • About Us

    Positive Action Against Chemical Addiction, Inc is a grassroots organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of substance abuse in the greater New Bedford area. PAACA provides rehabilitation programming, intervention and prevention efforts, as well as positive youth programming. PAACA began serving at-risk youth in New Bedford 15 years ago. The creation of PAACA’s youth service programming division was a result of the high number of youth affected by substance abuse. Currently, PAACA operates two Citizen Schools Campuses at local middle schools, the first ever Youth Court in MA, and various other youth development afterschool programs.
