Substance Misuse

We provide support for people experiencing difficulties through the misuse of substances such as:
  • alcohol, volatile substances (such as aerosols & gases)
  • prescribed and over the counter medication
  • illegal drugs
  • image and performance enhancing drugs (steroids)

Often we work in partnership with other local or national substance misuse services, offered by healthcare providers, a range of voluntary sector, independent agencies and community groups.

Substance misuse can affect people of all ages, their families and the communities in which they live.
