Support for alcohol and drug use

Alcohol is part of life for many people, often without causing problems when consumed in moderation. However, for some, alcohol use can become a challenge, leading to dependency and addiction. Similarly, recreational or dependent drug use can seriously impact physical and mental health and comes with legal risks.

If you’re worried about your own use, or you’re concerned about a friend, family member or a young person in your life, know that compassionate and judgment-free support is available.
