Integrated Recovery Service - Knowsley
Support with alcohol
We have a range of treatment options if you are worried about your relationship with alcohol and the impact this is having on your life.
You’ll work with a keyworker to find out what your goals are and how we can help you achieve them. This may be through peer led groups, or structured groups to help you set goals and change habits.
If you’re dependent on alcohol you might be offered medication or a detox to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, which can make it safer to cut down or stop drinking.
Detox is usually the start of your recovery and we’ll continue to support you after.
Take our quick quiz to understand how much you’re drinking and get advice.
Support with drugs
We offer specialist support if you are concerned about drug use, including substances such as cannabis, ketamine, opioids, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs.
You will work with your key worker to identify your goals and explore how we can help you achieve them. Additionally, you can learn more about harm reduction strategies and medically assisted detoxification.
Naloxone – the overdose reversal drug
Naloxone is life-saving medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
We can give you a free naloxone kit and teach you how to use it. Get in touch with us or speak to a member of staff to find out more.
