Ealing RISE - London
What we do
We understand it may be difficult to access one of our hubs due to your support needs. Rise works within the community to support the people who use our services across the Borough of Ealing.
Hospital Liaison Team
Rise has a team of trained nurses who work within Ealing Hospital. The team will see anyone who has been admitted to the hospital who may have drug and/or alcohol issues. They can provide short or intensive sessions and refer patients to the relevant services.
Within the hospital, Rise also has a Hospital Link Worker who can arrange for assessments at Rise and provide support to access the service.
Community engagement
Our Community Engagement team works with people who face barriers to accessing treatment.
These barriers include homelessness, unmanaged mental health conditions, mobility or poor physical health conditions and social stigma.
The team are flexible and work in a way that suits you.
How we can help
We can meet you in the community, your home, at another service you attend, or at your place of rough sleeping. At the earliest point in your journey, our staff will accompany you to various appointments and to one of our hubs to help you access support.
You can also notify them if you are concerned about the activity in the area, such as increased street drinking or drug-related litter. They can arrange a visit and discuss how to best support you and those affected. You can notify them by emailing [email protected].
Raising awareness
The team works with Churches, Gurudwaras, Mosques and other places of worship, as well as community organisations,to provide training, awareness, and support for local communities.
The team also specialises in raising awareness of the services Rise offers and can attend events to talk about the work we do. Please email us on [email protected] to find out more.

Dual Diagnosis Team
Getting support with substances and your mental health at the same time is called dual diagnosis.
Our Dual Diagnosis Team works across the borough to provide additional support for people with a dual diagnosis.
The team also provides support for people who require substance misuse or alcohol support who have been admitted to specialist wards in hospitals.
Supporting young adults
Our Young Adult Link Worker provides specialist support for people aged 18–24 who have experienced challenges related to substances or alcohol in the last three months.
We work in partnership with relevant health, social care, educational, criminal justice and other youth services to ensure young adults are supported to make the transition to adult treatment services.
Family and Parenting Team
The Family and Parenting Team support adults in the community who have parental responsibility and are experiencing challenges related to drugs and/or alcohol.
The team supports parents/guardians to make healthier, positive choices that benefit their children and other family members.
Non-Opiate Specialist
Our Non-opiate Specialist Worker supports people who are using non-opiate drugs and/or low alcohol use only. The sessions are delivered over 12 weeks and focus on the use of different non-opiates, the effects on the body and mind, and how to reduce use and achieve abstinence.
Rough Sleepers Drug and Alcohol Team
Our Rough Sleepers Team supports rough sleepers across Ealing who are using drugs and/or alcohol.
The team helps people to move away from the streets and access services that can support them. They provide ongoing support and help people reduce their chance of repeat homelessness. Further support and advice can be found here:
- Accommodation and move-on support from Single Homeless Project
- Immigration advice provided by Praxis
If you are concerned about a person or people sleeping rough, please report as much information as possible using the Streetlink portal. Please include a description of them and information about their location - a postcode will help us find someone much more easily.
Criminal Justice Team
Our Specialist Criminal Justice Team works with people whose substance/alcohol use has brought them into contact with the criminal justice system. The team works in close partnership with the police, probation, prisons, courts, local authorities and other agencies. Our main aim is to support our clients in their recovery and to break the cycle of offending.
