How we can help

We're here to support you.

We help adults over 18 who are struggling with drugs or alcohol. Our services can support you through your journey to recovery. We can also give you advice about reducing the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.

We can answer any questions or worries you might have about:

  • Alcohol
  • Drugs (including steroids)
  • Prescription and over-the-counter medications, including sleeping pills and tranquilizers
  • How drugs or alcohol are affecting your mental health

Our services are free and confidential. They’re open to anyone experiencing difficulties with drugs or alcohol.

We know that it isn’t always easy to take that first step and visit the service for the first time. When you first visit one of our services, someone will sit down with you to discuss your challenges and goals and answer any questions you have.

We can help you to find the tools you need to meet your goals, as well as any extra support you need along the way.

If you're using alcohol or drugs, live in Camden and want to get support, the best way to do this is by coming to our assessment drop-in service. You can visit Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 12-4pm at Kings Studios, 43-45 Kings Terrace, London, NW1 0JR. 

If you would like to book an assessment at our Kilburn site, please complete our online referral form.
