Funding at the local level is distributed through alcohol and drug partnerships and many of the projects and organisations we support at the national level also work in both alcohol and drugs, therefore it is not possible to disaggregate funding allocated specifically for drug services rather than drug and alcohol services.
Alcohol and Drug Partnerships commission services from both statutory and third sector providers. Data on how this funding is broken down is not held centrally. Financial accounts are published annually by Health Boards and Alcohol and Drugs Partnerships (ADPs) and accessible via each areas website.
Scottish Government funding for drug and alcohol services is allocated to various organisations these are grouped below as:Core Funded Organisations (CFOs)Other third sector organisationsDistributed via the Corra Foundation to third sector and grass roots organisations
