What we do

Our aim is to help transform the lives of people affected by drug and alcohol problems. We do this by offering a wide range of services in England and Scotland.

Not only do we help the individual recover from their dependency, but we also offer support to those closest to them. Working with families and loved ones forms a major part of Addaction's treatment ethos.

Recovery for all our service users is our ultimate ambition. But we recognise that the path to this recovery requires a range of different interventions to meet individuals' needs. Our treatment services can and do work, particularly when they are:

  • delivered in partnership
  • provided locally, supported nationally
  • family focused
  • designed to offer a range of treatment options.
