Licensing Alerts

Licensing Alerts are issued to communicate general information to drug and alcohol facilities. The alerts are issued on an "as needed" basis and are disseminated to licensed drug and alcohol facilities, Single County Authorities, trade associations, and relevant state government staff.

Please note that numerous Licensing Alerts contain DDAP's old address, 132 Kline Village Shopping Center. DDAP's new address is listed below and should be used for all mailing moving forward.
