COVID-19 UPDATE...
The way you get support from us will be different for a while, but we are still here. We’ll do everything we can to help you stay safe. Things are changing quickly, so keep checking this page and our national coronavirus info page for updates.
You can call us on 0131 557 5273 or email Ashley.close@cgl.org.uk.

Updates to the service...
Our service is running, but we have shifted to telephone-based support and appointments.
Those in prison can still refer via paper referral forms and officers can call on behalf of clients on 0131 444 3142.
If you have any questions or you're worried about something, please get in touch.
Normal service provision...
We are here to help you.
We work across prisons, courts and in the community.
We provide advice, support and recovery options to people with alcohol or drug issues.
The prison-based part of the service provides support for people with substance use issues in HMP Edinburgh.
Most mornings, we are at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to provide advice and signposting.
We also provide support to prisoners coming back to Edinburgh and Midlothian from any prison. We help people reintegrate back into the community.
Your first visit...
A friendly member of our team will greet you at reception. They'll explain the service to you and you can ask any questions you might have.
