Alcohol & Drug Service

Our Mission

The Alcohol and Drug Service recognises alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use as common to societies and cultures around the word.  Our mission is to promote well-being and minimise the harm resulting from the use of these substances, and we offer a range of services to individuals and communities to achieve this.
