Drugs Advisory service

We provide a service for people affected by illegal drugs and/or prescribed drugs, with a friendly confidential service that offers help and support to those who feel they can't be drug free and also those who choose abstinence as an aim.

Staff in our Substance Misuse team are drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds and who are all trained to help people with drug related problems. The Drugs Action Team website (seeuseful websites on the right) includes advice and information on services and locations and lists of other organisations that are available. For services for young people with drug and alcohol misuse problems, please contact the Youth Support Teams.
