The Moray Alcohol and Drug Partnership (MADP) is a multi-agency partnership, accountable directly to the Moray Community Planning Partnership through the Healthier Strategic Group. The MADP has been established to respond to national strategies on alcohol, drugs and volatile substances.
 
The purpose of the MADP is to reduce the impact of problematic alcohol and drug use on individuals, families and communities by co-ordinating the work of the statutory and third sector agencies and by developing and implementing strategies for tackling alcohol and drug problems at a local level.

 
 
 

Latest Campaign

Your Teeth

We have teamed up with Anne Cousins, Oral Health Improvement to look at what can be done to help drug and alcohol clients register with a dentist and to also advise on how they can look after their oral health.  At the reception point at 252 High Street we have free toothbrushes and toothpaste for clients and their children to take.  Support workers are also checking with the client to see if they are registered with a dentist.  If they are not then their details can be passed to Anne Cousins who will ensure they get registered. If you would like a poster to be displayed in your service please contact morayadp@moray.gov.uk

Benzo Campaign

Benzo warning from Grampian Police and NHS Grampian – Campaign materials
Grampian Police and NHS Grampian are warning drug users about the dangers of taking tranquillisers known as benzodiazepines.

 

The warning, together with a new awareness campaign for the North East, follows analysis of information from many sources including NHS Grampian and Grampian Police on sudden, drug-related deaths. Grampian Police identified a change in the trend of drug-related deaths that challenged drug users’ common but wrong perception that benzodiazepines were not dangerous.

 

The figures show that over the past three years, four out of five drug-related deaths in the North East involve the use of benzodiazepines in combination with other street drugs and often with alcohol. This information is not generally known, especially among drug users where it is often perceived that the use of benzodiazepines is less hazardous than other drugs. Grampian Police, NHS Grampian and the region’s Alcohol and Drug Partnerships in
Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray decided to campaign to highlight the dangers of these drugs, most of which have not been acquired through prescription.

Drop a Glass Size

Sometimes slimmers switch to a smaller plate so they eat less. Dropping a glass size uses the same principle for alcohol. Dropping a glass size is one of the easiest ways to cut back. This handy tool will even tell you what visible and invisible benefits are in store.
