Mission Statement
To bring together a range of representatives to design and implement an integrated, holistic strategy which seeks to address the context and consequensces of problem drug use in the area.

The key objectives of the Clondalkin Local Drugs Task Force are:

• The Task Force places community participation at its centre and seeks to harness and build on the commitment and voluntary organisations to work together to achieve this end.
• To support and enhance the community to create a climate which would reduce the demand for drugs by brining together community, voluntary and statutory organizations in a collaborative way.
• To provide a range of treatment options to enhance the opportunities for drug users to become drug free and to minimize the level of drug use and its effect on the community.
