Drug and Alcohol Services

Drug and alcohol addiction affects people from all walks of life.

​

Drug and alcohol addiction is a chronic disease where you are physically or psychologically dependent on drugs or alcohol or both.

​

Your addiction may leave you feeling as though you do not have control over your desire to use the substance which can cause harm and hurt to yourself and others.

​

Your local GP can provide you with advice on drug and alcohol problems and refer you to an appropriate service that can help you to manage and control addiction.

​

Drug and alcohol addiction programs can help you address the physical, emotional and social factors associated with substance abuse or drug or alcohol addiction.

​

They can help you:

  • understand your triggers for substance abuse

  • get equipped with skills and techniques to control your addiction

  • learn different ways to handle stress

  • develop your capacity to deal with life’s challenges.

 

Talk to your GP if you think you may have problems with drug and alcohol.
