Drug use affects not just the drug user but the whole family including parents, siblings and wider kin such as grandparents.

We recognise how drug use affects entire families and offer support to parents whose children take drugs as well as supporting drug users to make the journey to recovery.

A range of services are offered to both active drug users as well as other family members. These services are offered by the Family Support Worker and include information, advice, counselling, complementary therapies as well as referral to other services.

The type of difficulties presented through this service include trouble with the law, drug dealers or money lenders, health problems, family problems arising from illegal drug use, physical threats, supports with childcare, etc.

Assistance is offered on a one-to-one basis rather than with the family as a unit.
