Via – Gloucestershire

Worried about your own or someone else’s alcohol or drug use?
We provide free and confidential advice, care and support for people in Gloucestershire aged 18+.

You can visit one of our sites in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Cinderford, or contact us by phone or email.

You can also fill in our online form and once we’ve received it, we’ll get in touch with you.

Any professional, like a housing support worker, social worker, GP or nurse can also make a referral for you.

Your first visit

Coming into our service for the first time might feel a bit daunting, but our friendly team will do their best to help you feel comfortable.

You’ll meet with one of our support workers and talk about your concerns and then make a plan together.

This care plan will help you cut down or stop your drinking or drug use.

It’ll also help us make sure that you’re getting the right support at the right time for you.

We also offer help for the family, friends and carers of the people who use our services.
