How we can help
We have two strands to our service. First, the Early Intervention Service. This is for people whose drinking or drug use is beginning to cause them problems. The second is our Recovery Service. This is for people who have reached their chosen goals and want ongoing support. We'll encourage you to be vocal about what you want from us, and we'll work with you to figure out what you want to achieve.
