South West Recovery Service - Edinburgh

How we can help you

We can help you to reduce or stop drinking or using drugs, and to stay safe and healthy.

We offer one-to-one or group support. You can also get tested for blood-borne viruses like HIV and hepatitis C and get a free naloxone kit. Naloxone can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

We offer a free needle exchange service and we are part of the C-Card scheme, providing free condoms. 

Contact us

You can call us on 0131 453 9406. 

We are open Monday - Friday: 09:00 - 16:30.

If you are coming to the service for the first time, we have a drop in service for assessment on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 13:00 - 16:00. This means you can just turn up - you don't need an appointment.
