Recovery is a human right and everyone should be able to access recovery support throughout their recovery journey.

Harm reduction, treatment and recovery support are equally important.
Flexible
Support should be flexible and provided for as long as needed.
Individual
Recovery treatment and support remains with the individual.
Recovery support
Recovery is an individual journey, and it can mean different things to different people.
There are a number of online tools that can help people on their recovery journey. We also run regular groups and offer employment support for people who are being supported by our teams.
Our Academy aims to support individual and collective recovery through learning, training, mentoring and volunteering in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Are you concerned about a friend or family member’s substance use?
We can help you. We offer support to family members, carers and friends of people facing substance use issues.
This could be via one-to-one sessions, group sessions or online support.

Grief is a confusing thing and is a different experience for each individual. When a bereavement is related to substance use, it can feel even more complicated.
Nottingham Grief Support is a place where people can go to speak openly to those who understand.💙
They make no judgement toward substance use or the complicated thoughts and feelings that arise when grieving for somebody who has died in relation to drugs or alcohol.

Last up in our Black History Month spotlight: Dr. Carl Bell — visionary psychiatrist, FASD advocate, and champion for Black communities. 🏆
Dr. Bell’s groundbreaking research revealed the impact of fetal alcohol exposure on psychiatric and behavioral health, particularly in low-income and Black communities. His work challenged systemic inequalities and fought against misdiagnoses that too often affected Black people.
