Drugs and Alcohol Outreach Service
If you’re struggling with drugs or alcohol, you’re not alone. Losing control of your drug or alcohol use can affect your health, relationships, and even your home. Our Drug and Alcohol Service offers free, confidential support for anyone aged 18+ living in the South Eastern Trust area. We use a harm reduction approach to help you take small steps towards recovery – at your pace.
Project supported by the Public Health Authority
