Drug and Alcohol NI

Drug and alcohol misuse affects individuals, families and communities across Northern Ireland. In recognition that no agency can address this issue alone, five multi-agency partnerships (Drug and Alcohol Coordination Teams) exist across the region.

This website and its content has been developed to showcase the work to date of the PHA, DACTs and DACT Connections Services, and to give people who are directly or indirectly impacted by substance misuse, more information (see Alcohol/Drugs/Initiatives/Resources) on how they can help themselves  or help their friends and loved ones (see Self Help/Services Near You).
