AIMS OF THE PARTNERSHIP

The principal aim of the Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is to co-ordinate and express the views of service providers, service users and those in need of services in relation to substance misuse. The key objectives are: to raise the awareness of substance misuse issues and to change public attitude towards substance misuse; to continue to support a corporate approach by the key service agencies, involving the community, to reduce the problems associated with substance misuse; to target young people in an effort to reverse the trends in substance misuse within this group; to develop an effective preventative strategy for the people of Clackmannanshire.

MEETINGS OF THE ADP

The ADP meets every two months either at Lime Tree House and Greenfield, Alloa.
