About us
The main purpose of the Alliance is the integration, cooperation and development of joint projects of organizations in the field of drugs and addiction concerning individuals and society. The impetus of the Alliance is also promoting working concepts in the area of prevention, addressing addiction and harm reduction at local, regional, national and international levels through education, interventions, and the organization of various communities in solving problems and drug—related issues.
The Alliance encourages and develops measures in order to help drug users on the basis of social justice, solidarity, principles of equal accessibility and free choice of forms of assistance, while providing users with dignity, equal opportunities and preventing social exclusion.
From the above, it is quite evident that the Alliance performs the bulk of its activities in the field of social security. The Alliance exceeds the division between organizations according to its mode of operation and accepts differences in the concepts and policies of its members’ activities. Differences between members are beneficial, since they help achieve a greater variety of programs for service users. Outwardly — e.g. towards Ministries— the Alliance acts unanimously and operates as a representative of the interests of its members.
