If you or someone you know needs help with smoking, alcohol, drugs, gambling or another addiction, support is available. Find local services, advice and information to help you take the next step.
Help to stop smoking
Stopping smoking can be difficult for many reasons, but with the right support it is completely possible. In fact, you are three times more likely to stop smoking if you have support.
Drug and alcohol support
You are not alone if you need help with drugs or alcohol. Find local support for you, a friend, or a family member.
Support for gambling-related harm
If you are worried about your own gambling or someone else’s, support is available. You do not need to wait until things feel ‘serious’ before asking for help. Talking to someone early can help you stay in control and reduce harm.
These services can help:
If you feel unsafe or that you may harm yourself, call 999 or go to A&E. You can also contact Samaritans for free, 24-hour emotional support on 116 123.
