Drugs Advice

Hackney Council provides a drug advisory service that gives advice and support to those who are affected by illegal and/or prescribed drugs.

Our Substance Misuse Team run a friendly, confidential service that gives help to those who feel they can't be drug free and those who choose abstinence as an aim.
