The Community Alcohol Service also provides support and advice to any Carer or Third Party who is directly affected by another person’s alcohol use.

If someone else’s alcohol use is causing you problems, and you feel that you might benefit from talking to one of our workers about what treatment is available for the drinker, and what support is available for you, call us on the number on the alcohol services page (click here) or drop in at the times specified.
