About Us
The role of the Alcohol and Drugs Partnership (ADP) is to provide strategic direction to reduce the level of drug and alcohol problems amongst young people and adults in the Borders. This includes reducing the harmful impact on families and communities by co-ordinating the work of drug and alcohol statutory and third sector agencies and by developing and implementing strategies for addressing drug and alcohol problems at a local level. This work is based on a partnership approach involving the statutory, voluntary and private sectors, and engaging the wider community.
The Scottish Government funds the work of the ADP, with funding having been made available to support the development of drug and alcohol services.
