Our mission is "...to significantly reduce the harm caused to individuals and society by the misuse of drugs through a concerted focus on supply reduction, prevention, treatment and research" Under the National Drugs Strategy Plan 2001 - 2008, Regional Drugs Task Forces have been established throughout Ireland. Established in 2003, the North West Regional Drugs Task Force has a remit for the North West region including all of Counties Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim, and West Cavan and to provide responses to illicit drug use and underage drinking problems at a local level.

Extending from the Inishowen Peninsula to the Leitrim-Longford border, the region is characterised by its dispersed population, high dependency age profile, proximity to the border with Northern Ireland and the disproportionate effects of long-term unemployment, rural isolation and lack of access to services.Arising from extensive consultative work and a series of group workshops and review sessions, the Strategic Plan 2005 - 2008 provides insight into the severity of the problems facing the region, identifies gaps in currently available services, and provides an action plan for future responses.
