Orkney Alcohol and Drugs Partnership (ADP)

Orkney Alcohol and Drugs Partnership (ADP) is committed to promoting positive change by working to improve the lives of those suffering from their own or others substance use. Through partnership working, we focus on providing early interventions for individuals, their families, and communities.

Orkney ADP is a multi-agency organisation incorporating over 30 members, including NHS Orkney, Orkney Islands Council, Police Scotland, and the Voluntary Sector. The partnership is overseen by a support team who ensure that all members are able to contribute towards various aspects of substance misuse in Orkney.

Within the support team, we don’t carry out clinical or therapeutic support to patients, we offer support to the services that do. The purpose of Orkney ADP is to achieve the priorities set both locally and nationally to improve the outcomes for individuals, families, and the wider community of Orkney in relation to the reduction of alcohol and drug related harm.
