We help people who have issues with drugs and/or alcohol and want to make a positive change. We also support the family and friends of people who are worried about their loved ones substance use, or have been affected by it.
We offer:
- One-to-one and group support
- Health checks and testing for blood-borne viruses, including Hepatitis C
- Help to detox
- Prescribed medication (where appropriate and following a medical assessment), Naloxone dispensing and needle exchange
- Support from peers who have been through similar experiences
- On-going support from our Recovery Support service
Make an online referral or give us a call and we’ll take some brief details. You’ll then you’ll be allocated a keyworker who will contact you to book an initial assessment. Your assessment will take about an hour and we’ll ask about your history and goals for the future. We provide friendly, non-judgemental support, no matter what substance you use or what you have gone through in the past. Many of our staff have personal experience of drug and alcohol issues themselves, helping us to understand what you’re going through. We also know that no one person is the same. That’s why we offer a range of different treatment options, from programmes that can support people to become completely abstinent to harm minimisation and advice on cutting down – these will all be discussed with you at your assessment.
