Our aim is to help young people resist drug and alcohol misuse and to achieve their full potential in society. A wide range of programmes are in existence across Cambridgeshire supporting the education, prevention and treatment needs of young people in relation to substance misuse.

All Cambridgeshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team Member agencies share a common purpose and are working towards an improved, integrated approach to the development of education, prevention and treatment services for young people.
