Dublin North East Drug Taskforce Identity

Drug misuse is one of the great social ills of our time. It affects individuals, families and communities. While the numbers of people with serious drug problems may be small, drug misuse affects us all. Providing drug misuse with well-managed, effective treatment is the most successful way of tackling all of these harms.

In 1997, as a Response to the devastating impact the drug culture created, the government established Local Drug Task Forces in the areas experiencing the worst levels of opiate misuse.

The Task Force works to aid the development of community based initiatives and to link in with and add value to the programmes and services already being delivered or planned by statutory agencies.
