North Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership
North Lanarkshire Alcohol & Drug Partnership (ADP) was established in 2019. We are a strategic, multi-agency partnership made up of key agencies and stakeholders including local services, people with lived and living experience of substance use and family members, all working together to tackle alcohol and drug related harms and improve the health and wellbeing of our communities, families and individuals affected by alcohol or drugs.
The work of the ADP is centred around improving quality, offering choice and creating more connections to keep people safe, well and thriving.
