Support with alcohol

We all know that drinking less is better for our health but sometimes we need a bit of support to know where to start.

No matter how much you’re drinking, once you’ve made the decision to improve your habits, our priority is to get you the personal support you need.

We also work in partnership with Lower My Drinking. Please visit their website or download their app to get support and information.

Do you think you might be drinking too much?

We're here to support you with your levels of drinking. If you are concerned about how much you are drinking, please take our alcohol quiz. The quiz will take a couple of minutes to complete.

We will ask you how much you are drinking on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. We will also ask you about your behaviour when you drink.

At the end of the quiz we will provide guidance based on your levels drinking. This might include visiting your GP, contacting us or speaking to our online team.

Support with drugs

If you’re struggling with substances, we have a range of support and treatment options available.

Your recovery journey will be tailor made to you around the substance you are wanting support with. Depending on the substances you use we may be able to provide support for a community-based treatment either in your own home or at our community residential property, Windmill House.

Are you worried about your drug use?

Take our quick quiz to understand your drug use.

For this quiz, ‘drugs’ means non-medical drugs, or and prescription and over-the-counter drugs you’re using more than the instructed amount of. It does not cover alcohol or tobacco.

Your answers should only be about your drug use over the last 12 months.

When you’ve answered the questions, we’ll give you advice about drugs and what to do next. You can explore your options below.
