Substance misuse
Substance misuse is an issue that can
seriously affect communities, harm families and waste lives.
Kent Drug
and Alcohol Action Team (Kent DAAT) is a partnership of a
number of agencies across Kent working to reduce the harm caused by
substance misuse.
The partnership includes representatives from
the Kent County Council, the NHS, Kent Police, Kent Probation and
local prison services.
Kent DAAT works to commission effective drug
and alcohol treatment services for Kent residents. Kent DAAT is in
the process of redeveloping its website. Once this
redevelopment is completed, the new website will be found at
www.kdaat.org.
