How can Drugsline help?

Our trained volunteers are

non-judgemental and can provide vital help and support if you are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. We can also help with other addictions, such as gambling or over-eating.

We can provide support, help and information to parents, grandparents, carers, partners and children of those with drug and alcohol problems.

Often being able to talk to someone openly and honestly about the effects of your own drug or alcohol addiction or the behaviour of someone whose addiction is affecting you, can help you to put things into perspective. It can sometimes be very difficult to talk about your feelings and concerns with friends or family members. To speak openly with someone who understands and does not make any judgements can be invaluable.

Sometimes, trying to understand the different types of services and treatments that are around for people who have addictions can be hard, especially when you are trying to come to terms with accepting that you or someone you love is addicted. Our telephone counsellors can help you to understand where you might get the further help and support that you or your loved one may need.
