The Way Forward for Drug & Alcohol Recovery
Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership (EADP) is asking people in the city for their views on its draft commissioning plan: Commissioning for Recovery 2011-2014.
This draft plan sets out how EADP intends to commission services that will see more people achieve a sustained recovery from problem alcohol and drug use. It outlines the partnerships priorities and the outcomes it is seeking to achieve through the services it commissions.
The partnership wants to hear the views of friends, partners and other family members or carers who are affected by someone else's alcohol and/or drug use.
Information on the draft plan is available on the EADP website, including the full version of the draft plan and a summary.
