The Moray Alcohol and Drug Partnership

The Moray Alcohol and Drug Partnership (MADP) is a multi-agency partnership, accountable directly to the Moray Community Planning Partnership through the Healthier Strategic Group. The MADP has been established to respond to national strategies on alcohol, drugs and volatile substances.

The purpose of the MADP is to reduce the impact of problematic alcohol and drug use on individuals, families and communities by co-ordinating the work of the statutory and third sector agencies and by developing and implementing strategies for tackling alcohol and drug problems at a local level.

• Prevention
• Recovery
• Law enforcement
• Children and Family Support
• Service Delivery

The MADP does not provide treatment services but commission’s statutory and voluntary agencies to provide the full range of drug and alcohol treatment services, both structured and open access, including services for those in the criminal justice system.
