Substance misuse is an issue that can seriously affect individuals, families and communities. To help deal with this issue, the Kent Drug and Alcohol Action team website has been developed to provide comprehensive information and advice about drugs, alcohol and addiction.

The local NHS Trusts can also provide information and support relating to substance misuse and dealing with addiction.
