My child/spouse/friend/family member has confided that they have a drug/alcohol use problem. What happens now?
Admitting they have a problem is crucial in the recovery process. There are many options available to individuals who want to change their lifestyle and patterns of behaviour to eliminate dependence on drugs or alcohol. Encourage your loved one to contact one of the various drug and alcohol support programs available in the borough. Those seeking help are able to “self refer”, by contacting the programs directly; alternatively, they may ask to be referred via their GP, Probation Officer, Housing officer, keyworker or Social Worker.
