Overview

We are a free and confidential service for adults (18+) in Liverpool who are experiencing difficulties with substances.

 

We believe everyone has the ability to make positive changes. We work with individuals, families, carers, and professionals to offer support that’s right for you.

 

Whether you need one-to-one help, group sessions, or access to medication and treatment, we're here for you.

 

Volunteers play a crucial role in helping us bring our vision to life and deliver our services effectively. Their dedication strengthens the quality, reach, and accessibility of our support, allowing us to help even more people.
