What is LDAS?
The Lambton Drug and Alcohol Strategy (LDAS) is a coordinated and collaborative approach across health and social service organizations to help improve services and the community while caring for people who use drugs and/or alcohol, their loved ones and the community members of Lambton County.
The Strategy
The need for a coordinated response across the health and social service sectors as well as collaboration with local enforcement officers, educators, and the community brought together a multi-sectoral steering committee in 2019 with the aim to reduce the harms related to drug and alcohol use in Lambton County.
The Three Pillars
Community consultations during the development of the Strategy identified that an approach that focuses not only on limiting the harms of current use but also curbing the reasons people use substances in the first place was needed. Therefore, the strategy will integrate aspects of prevention, treatment, enforcement, and harm reduction interventions into three pillars.
