Alcohol & Drugs Action
About Alcohol & Drugs Action
If you or someone in your family has problems with substance misuse then you can receive a phone call and/or face to face meetings with a trained volunteer to help with isolation and feelings of loneliness. This is part of a package offered by ADA where volunteers supplement the work of addiction workers to support people with alcohol and drug problems. We also have volunteer led groups where people can come along and enjoy the friendship of other group members and volunteers to support them in their recovery.
