Addictions

Community-based and recovery-focused support services for people with addictions. Our support, developed in line with the Scottish Government’s Road to Recovery, are focused on reducing harm, supporting you to access high-quality long-term treatment, and enabling you to move-on from problem addictions to live an independent and fulfilled life.

Our support always starts with agreeing a support plan with you, one that is unique to you and captures your individual support needs and desired personal outcomes. To support you in making safe, positive life choices, and to improve your health and wellbeing, we can support in a wide variety of ways:

- Connecting with local resources and support networks
- Looking after your home and managing your tenancy
- Shopping and cooking healthy meals on a budget
- Managing your finances and accessing benefits
- Managing your medication
- Building relationships with family and friends
- Attending social activities and trying new things
- Getting into education, work or volunteering
- Building resilience and developing self-help skills

All of our staff undergo specialist addictions and recovery training that promotes and develops good practice in supporting you to recover.
