If you are worried about a friend or family member with a drug or alcohol problem, or if you are seeking help for yourself then we recommend that you make an appointment with your GP who will be able to help and refer you to the most appropriate service.
Here is the list of alcohol and drug services in our local area. Some services are available to everyone but some are only available to people in certain age groups or to people who have been referred by their GP or another health professional.
