How we can help you

We provide free and confidential drug and alcohol services in Coventry.

Above all else, we believe in people. It's the one thing that acts as a foundation for all our work.

If you use our services: we understand what you're going through. We won't judge. We believe you can make positive changes in your life.

If you work or volunteer for us: we believe in your potential. We believe you can do brilliant, life-changing work.

If you're one of our partners: we believe that together we can deliver real value and positive change in our local communities.

We provide a non-judgemental service, with qualified, experienced staff & volunteers who offer support in health & wellbeing and substance misuse. We can talk to you in a number of supportive environments and provide you with information to help you reduce your substance use or stop completely.

Feel free to drop into the service during these times if you’d like to speak to a member of our team.

Your first visit

When you arrive, book in at our main reception desk so we can let a member of our team know you have arrived.

Whilst in reception please help yourself to water and browse our leaflets and posters. You can also take a seat within our Recovery Café; Simon’s Café, where you can get a free hot drink.

During your first appointment, our team will take the time to understand your situation and listen to you. Then they'll discuss the kind of treatment that might suit you.

We know this can be daunting, so please feel free to invite someone you trust if this makes you feel more comfortable.
