The Kentucky Agency for Substance Abuse Policy (KY-ASAP) was created in 2000 to develop a strategic plan to reduce the prevalence of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use among youth and adult populations in Kentucky and coordinate efforts among state and local agencies in the area of substance misuse prevention.

A key concept of KY-ASAP is policy change. Local Boards have evolved, as envisioned, as policy makers within their communities. Many have developed initiatives for smoke-free environments and worked with school systems to provide programs to teach our youth about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. There are now 119 boards located in 120 counties of the Commonwealth.

Franklin County’s ASAP is here to promote policies that prevent and reduce harm from substance use through the engagement of prevention, treatment and enforcement strategies. 

We are a hub for Franklin County that focuses on prevention, treatment, recovery and enforcement in our community. We meet monthly to discuss issues and resources to better serve our county. We are a group of people working together. Open meetings are attended by law enforcement, counselors, drug treatment, community leaders and activists, FRSYCS, school staff, mental health professionals, health department staff and much more.
