Addaction exists to help people recover from drug and alcohol dependencies. As a charity we are committed to putting everyone that we help in charge of their lives and at the heart of everything we do.

We have around 120 projects in England and Scotland and help around 26,000 people a year with drug and alcohol problems.

We know that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to recovery so we have designed a range of different services to meet the needs of the individual.

Here you can read about these treatments and find out which service is closest to you.
