Leaflets and Guidance

Looking for reliable information about drugs and alcohol on the internet can be a daunting task, there's so much out there that it can be difficult to know what's useful and whats not. Norfolk DAAT and N-DAP agencies work hard to produce and maintain resources which provide accurate and up to date information about drugs and alcohol, the law, and the help that is available.

On this page you can find a selection of the leaflets and guidance produced by N-DAP, including those translated into other languages.
