Substances

If drug use is having a negative impact on you, or someone you know, we can help.

Is drug use affecting you?

Most drugs are illegal, but they are still readily available across the UK, including in Nottingham City. Some people use drugs with few adverse effects, but for others, drug use can cause serious harm to their health, wellbeing and relationships.

We can provide free information, advice and treatment for anybody in Nottingham City who is concerned about the impact their drug use is having on them or on somebody they know.

You don’t need to be using drugs frequently to speak to us. The earlier you ask for support, the easier it is for us to help.
