Synopsis

This report considers the growing emphasis on the role of communities within drugs and alcohol policy. Based on surveys of service commissioners, service providers, community workers and members, and drawing on three case studies, it focuses on the processes through which local communities may respond effectively to local drug and alcohol problems. The report provides an overview of community responses to drug use and presents an indepth account of the development of such responses to substance related problems. It identifies facilitating and inhibiting factors to effective community responses, and includes a number of examples of promising approaches.
