Drugs and Alcohol
Drug and alcohol problems can have a massive impact on the person affected and their friends and family. It is often difficult to know who to turn to and what sources of support are available. There are a number of services locally and the South Aberdeenshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership Community Forum have collated the information and have kindly given permission to reproduce here.
