Normal service provision...
The Recovery Hubs are one – stop shops which offer a full range of drug and alcohol treatment and support services.
We will support you on your journey.
We offer advice, guidance, and support. You can get one-to-one support, recovery planning, group work, access to harm reduction information and more. We'll listen to your needs and tailor your plan to suit you.
Advice and Support...
Alcohol - We'll work with you to tackle your problems and reach your goals.
Drugs - We offer testing for blood-borne viruses.
Support for others - It can be difficult to know how best to help someone close to you who misuses drugs and alcohol.
Your first visit...
When you arrive at the service for the first time, a friendly member of our team will greet you. They'll help you fill out a form for new people and talk to you about how we can help you.
The easiest way for most people to start to get support from their local Recovery Hub team is to come in and chat to us or give us a call. The worker will listen, give advice and options, agree a plan and organise the first step of the plan.
