About Hillsborough County Anti Drug Alliance

Hillsborough County Anti Drug Alliance is a community prevention coalition in Tampa, Florida, focused on substance use education, youth prevention programming and connecting families to treatment resources.

Rather than offering clinical treatment onsite, the organization mobilizes community partners, schools and families to prevent substance use and guide those in need toward local care. Residents value the coalition’s youth leadership initiatives and accessible referral support.

Prevention, Education and Community Resource Referrals

The coalition offers prevention education, community resource referrals and youth tobacco prevention programming through SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco) for middle and high school students ages 12 to 18 years. They also provide a youth anti tobacco class for individuals referred by the courts under Florida tobacco statutes. Families can call for guidance on suspected substance use, or to learn about local treatment options.

Serving Youth and Families Across Hillsborough County

The coalition serves youth and families across Hillsborough County, with a strong emphasis on preventing tobacco and substance use among adolescents. Adults seeking treatment for themselves, or loved ones, can access referral support and community resource navigation.

Hillsborough County Anti Drug Alliance is located at 4612 N 56th St in Tampa on the campus of partner organization Agency for Community Treatment Services (ACTS). Consider calling for prevention resources, youth program enrollment, or help connecting to addiction treatment providers in the Tampa area.

Outpatient treatment sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing a specific issue, sharing wins and challenges, education about specific topics, or developing life skills.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida gives you tools to challenge your thinking patterns. During treatment, you’ll examine common thought distortions, identify learned negative behaviors, and develop the skills necessary to consciously choose a different reaction to each situation.
