Next Steps/Conditions

If you are concerned about drug or solvent misuse and related issues please contact the service direct for advice or to arrange an appointment to visit (see contact details section).

At certain times you can also ‘drop in’ without an appointment but you will need to telephone the service to confirm when the ‘drop in’ sessions are being held.

Self referral by telephone or ‘drop in’ is preferred but referrals from professionals, relatives, carers and friends are also welcomed. On referral, an appointment will be arranged for you to meet with staff so that they can assess your needs.
