Welcome to Forth Valley Alcohol and Drug Partnership Website
FVSAT Region

Forth Valley Alcohol & Drug Partnership (ADP) is a multi-agency partnership established to implement and respond to the national strategies on alcohol, drugs, tobacco and volatile substances. Membership comprises of lead officers and advisors from the appropriate statutory and voluntary bodies from across Forth Valley.

Forth Valley Alcohol and Drug Partnership has the responsibility for developing an area -wide substance strategy. The strategy ensures that the appropriate range of treatment options is provided for, and available, at point of need. In addition, the strategy ensures the provision of the appropriate range of treatment options, required to promote the recovery of those affected by substance use problems, and their availability at point of need.

We are guided in this work by three local ADPs, which operate in each authority area i.e. Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling.

Inherent in our work are the views expressed by our service users, their families and carers.
