Yes we offer counselling to those affected by someone else’s substance misuse.

It is simply necessary that you have enough stability to be able to attend appointments on a regular basis often but not always weekly, once per week. We will not continue with an appointment with anyone whom we believe to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If we believe this to be the case you will be asked to leave the premises.

There is no need to be abstinent from alcohol and/or drugs to receive counselling provided that you are sober and clean on the day of your appointment and that you are not hung over from any consumption or intoxication from the previous evening.

You cannot join our rehabilitation services if you are undergoing a detoxification programme or have only very recently stopped drinking or taking drugs. This is because the rehabilitation services can be demanding and requires a commitment to participate on a regular basis. If you are interested in joining the rehabilitation services we can offer you an assessment appointment during which we can explore with you your circumstances and needs.

Yes.

You will be contacted within 15 working days of us receiving your referral.
