drugs services

If your drug use is causing problems for you or the people around you then you may have a drug problem.  If you want help it is available and easy to access.

You can get help with a drug problem through the Community Addiction Teams.  There are teams across the city and there is a specialist Homelessness Addiction Team at Hunter Street for people who are in homelessness crisis and are not registered with an Addiction Team.

 What help can I get?

• A full assessment of your needs
• An explanation of what help is available
• Advice on how to reduce your alcohol intake
• Help with your confidence and motivation
• Help to get into residential rehabilitation or a community-based rehabilitation
• Help to get into hospital or community-based detoxification
• Any other social or health help that you need

How can you get help?

You can go to your local Addiction Team.  It may be best to phone them first.  Someone else can phone for you and go down to the office with you - but you must make the decision to find out about getting help.

Where are the Addiction Teams based?

The addresses and phone number of all the services is available on the Glasgow City Council Website
