Drug and Alcohol Service - Cheshire East

Naloxone is an emergency medication that can reverse the effects of an overdose of opioids like heroin or methadone.  You can get in touch with our team to find out how you can collect naloxone from either our Crewe or Macclesfield hubs. You do not need an appointment to come in during our office opening hours.

If you are currently working with our Cheshire East Service, BBV testing is free and easy to access. You can be tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Once you have been tested you will be offered a regular assessment and be offered a test every 12 months.  

We are here to help. Everyone accessing our service can access our wound care support after completing a basic assessment. 

Keeping you as safe as possible is our main priority. As well as working with you to stop your drug use, we also offer harm reduction advice. We offer a needle exchange scheme for all (non-service users included). There is no need to book an appointment or provide your personal details. You are welcome to turn up during our opening hours to exchange your needles, syringes, and other injecting equipment.

Examples of common treatment options for people who are struggling with their drug use.

If you’re concerned about your drinking or drug use but aren’t sure what steps to take, you can find lots of information and advice here. 

We have plenty of options for people who need support with their alcohol use. Here are some examples.

We can support you through an alcohol detox, if you require it. This can be within the community or residential. Your keyworker and alcohol nurse will assess both options and explain which will be the safest method.  

Often our residential detox service users will stay at the Edward Myers Unit. Other detox units are available and will be explored with your nurse or keyworker where necessary. 

We have a team of skilled alcohol nurses who can complete alcohol assessments on site. They are also able to complete blood tests at either our Crewe or Macclesfield office, meaning assessment and treatment is accessible and available to those who would like support.
