SERVICES FROM DRUG CONCERN
Drug Users
Drug Concern gives advice on all aspects of drug use. We provide leaflets
that are designed to inform the user of what they need to know about the
drugs they are using - the short and long term effects of drug use, the
legal consequences and the risks. We have access to the most up to date
information available. We are a non-judgmental agency, and as such we do
not discriminate against age, gender, background, drug use, sexual orientation,
ability or HIV status.
Help for those who are involved with drug users
If you are a parent, friend, work colleague, partner - whatever your involvement,
trying to cope with someone who is using drugs can be a very difficult time
and can be even more stressful when you feel you have nobody to talk things
through with. Drug Concern offers you support and advice. We have leaflets
designed to give you information. No one can wave a magic wand but we can
listen to you and offer advice on plans of action. You may be experiencing
a variety of feelings - you feel the need to help them because you love
them; hate them for what they are putting you through; scared, guilty, desperate,
worried sick - whatever the situation Drug Concern can help to support you
through this time.

We currently run sessions in schools and colleges and provide training for
professionals. We also offer education on drug related issues to interested
groups of adults.
