My Recovery - Tameside
We can give information and advice about a whole range of substances, including drugs, alcohol and over the counter medication. When you are ready to make changes with your drug or alcohol use, we can provide face to face support sessions, groups and workshops, prescribed medication if it's needed and help you to stop using through a 'detox'. We try to understand what it is that you want and then support you in a variety of different ways to achieve your goals. Our workers are welcoming and are here to support you!
Change Grow Live are delighted to be recognised by the Greater Manchester Employment Charter and be part of its commitment to improving the employee experience across Greater Manchester.
We are committed to the 7 principles of the charter and will continue using them to guide and improve our people practices. We will continue to work with other members and the wider GM employment charter network to share best practice and learn from each other.

Needle and syringe programmes
Needle and syringe programmes are places where you can get new, clean injecting equipment and advice for staying safe. You can also return any used equipment so that it can be safely disposed of.
If you want to access needle and syringe programmes in person, there are a number of options. If you see this logo, it means that you can exchange your needles here.
We also offer a needle and syringe programme by post, with the option of discrete packaging, for free. Please ask your keyworker or a member of staff in the needle exchange for the code you will need to access this service.
Some local pharmacies also offer a free needle and syringe programme. Find your nearest one below.
