Drug and alcohol support

Help and support are available if you, or your family are affected by drugs or alcohol.

Everyone’s relationship with alcohol or drugs is different. Some people use them once in a while, while others may use them more regularly or become dependent on them.

If you are helping someone you care about, or if you are finding things hard yourself, you can get free and confidential support.
