Chemsex

The impact of chemsex can be different for different people, and the support you will receive will be personalised to your situation and needs.

The team works in a supportive way and will take time to explore and identify the issues that can trigger your drug or alcohol use.

If you have a question or you're worried about something, we’re here for you. Our online chat service is free and you'll be speaking to a trained worker.

Build on Belief

The Ealing Build on Build project is unique in that it provides a socially based drop-in right in the heart of our large treatment service. It's a place to find a little extra support where you can relax with a cup of coffee and have a friendly chat with someone.

There's also a large kitchen and can also do mindfulness, yoga, crafting, table tennis, and more. You can find out more about this project on Build on Belief's website (opens in new tab).
