Fighting drug and alcohol problems is hard, but there are services available locally to support you and your family.
It can be hard to know what to do if a friend or a member of your family is using drugs and/or alcohol. You can’t make other people’s decisions for them but you can try to help them to see that what they are doing isn’t good for them.
The services below can offer help, advice and information:
