The Council want to make sure that the support they provide is continuing to meet the needs of people who use the service, or who would benefit from using the service.

To help the Council do this, they are asking people to respond to a short survey to help them understand how to improve the service. The Council would like to hear from anyone living and working in Devon, especially those with lived experience of drug or alcohol misuse, and their families.

All responses will be treated confidentially and anonymously. Closing date 25 July 2025. Take part in the survey below
