ABOUT CDATF
Since **Apply on the website** the Clondalkin Drug and Alcohol Task

coordination and delivery of services.
Currently, organisations in the catchment area are funded though the
CDATF to deliver ongoing activities and interventions along the
continuum of care of targeted prevention, family support, treatment
and rehabilitation, supply reduction and coordination.

and consequences of drug and alcohol misuse in the CDATF area.?
We are committed to achieving this by pursuing three strategic goals.
Goal 1 Dealing with the effects of drug and alcohol misuse

causes of drug and alcohol misuse
