My Recovery - Tameside
We can offer information and advice about a range of substances, including drugs, alcohol and over-the-counter medication.
When you are ready to make changes to your drug or alcohol use, we can provide face-to-face support sessions, groups and workshops; prescribed medication if needed; and help you to stop using through a detox.
We aim to understand what it is that you want and then support you in a variety of different ways to achieve your goals. Our workers are welcoming and are here to support you!
Change Grow Live is delighted to be recognised by the Greater Manchester Employment Charter and be part of its commitment to improving the employee experience across Greater Manchester.
We are committed to the seven principles of the charter and will continue using them to guide and improve our people practices. We will continue to work with other members and the wider Greater Manchester Employment Charter network to share best practice and learn from each other.

Your first visit
A member of staff will be in our welcome area to meet you. They will ask your name and who you are here to see - if you are not sure of the worker's name, they will find out for you. You will be offered a drink and be able to relax in our welcome areas while you wait. If you need a quieter space to meet, please let our staff know and they will take you to a different place to wait.
It can be helpful to bring a friend, a family member or another professional to your appointment. If you are being prescribed any medication by your GP, it can be useful to let us know what this is.

Needle and syringe programmes
Needle and syringe programmes, sometimes known as needle exchanges, are places where you can get new, clean injecting equipment and advice for staying safe. You can also return any used equipment so that it can be safely disposed of.
If you want to access needle and syringe programmes in person, there are a number of options. If you see this logo, it means that you can exchange your needles here.
We also offer a needle and syringe programme by post, with the option of discrete packaging, for free. Please ask your keyworker or a member of staff in the needle exchange for the code you will need to access this service.
Some local pharmacies also offer a free needle and syringe programme. Find your nearest one below.
