Support with alcohol use
We’re here to help if you’re worried about your alcohol use. The fact that you're here is already a big positive step forward.
You’re in the right place
Whether you want to reduce your alcohol intake or stop drinking altogether, we’re here to help.
People get in touch with us because they’re worried about how often they want to drink, how much they’re drinking, or they find it hard to stop or control their drinking once they’ve started.
Maybe friends or family have told you they’re worried about your drinking, or maybe your drinking has led you into situations that you’re unhappy with.
Whatever the reason, we’re here to listen.
Getting support from us
Getting support from us is easy. When you find an alcohol support service close to you, you can call, email, or fill in a referral form to start your journey.
If you’d prefer to walk into a service to get things going, that’s fine too. We’ll talk about what’s going on for you now and talk about options for finding a way forward.
There are a range of useful resources below which can help you think about your drinking – and plan your next step.
If you drink every day and struggle when you’re not drinking, you’re probably dependent on alcohol. If this is the case, it’s important you don’t stop drinking suddenly. Many of our services offer detox and access to residential rehabilitation options, which can help you reduce your drinking in the safest possible way.
We know challenges with alcohol can happen at the same time as experiencing other challenges, like with your mental health, housing situation, family life or employment. We’ll work with you wherever we can to find the best way to overcome these together.
And remember, anything you tell us is confidential.
