The ADP Support Team

The Dumfries and Galloway Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (ADP) came into being in 2002 formally known as the Alcohol & Drugs Action Team (ADAT) and combined the Drug Action Team with the Alcohol Liaison Committee. The ADP draws its membership from a wide range of statutory and non-statutory organisations and groups, and works in partnership with a range of agencies. The work of the ADP is taken forward by its members who form sub groups focusing on the following themes:

  • Finance & Planning
  • Children & Young People
  • Recovery
  • Enforcement
  • Public Engagement

In adopting this model, the ADP seeks to address a broad range of substance misuse issues. This work is facilitated by a small staff team who seek to maintain the core aims of the ADP.
