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

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.

If you would like support from our service, please give us a call or refer yourself via the online form on our Referrals page.

Build on Belief

The Ealing Build on Belief project 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 the Build on Belief website.

Family, carers and significant others

Are you struggling with the drinking or drug use of a partner, friend or family member? We know how hard that can be.

We have a Family, Friends and Carers Groups and are here to support you if your loves one is using drugs or alcohol. We will provide you with information, advice and support.
