Drugs or alcohol starting to take hold? We can help. . .

Most young people will experiment with drugs or alcohol at some stage, however, for some, drinking or drug taking can become a problem.

Our staff are specifically trained and experienced to help you work out what’s going on, giving you the support you need to get your life back on track.

If you want to chat to someone, you can come to see us… or we have people who can come to you at a place that suits.

Our programs include individual and family counselling, outreach, support, information, assessment and referrals.
