Drug strategy
Four strands of the drug strategy
The drug strategy aims to reduce the harm that drugs cause to society, to communities, individuals and their families.
The 2008-2018 drug strategy comprises four strands of work:
-
protecting communities through tackling drug supply, drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour
-
preventing harm to children, young people and families affected by drug misuse
-
delivering new approaches to drug treatment and social re-integration
-
public information campaigns, communications and community engagement
