Reach out to a hotline in England for support with substance abuse and drugs or alcohol addiction

If you or someone you know is abusing substances, or struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, you may not know where to turn. Fortunately, support is available in England from 4 helplines for substance abuse. If you or a loved one has been experiencing any of the following, reach out today:

  • Low mood including feelings of hopelessness, sadness or depression
  • Stealing money or selling items to afford to buy drugs or alcohol
  • A loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed.
  • Using substances as a way to relieve negative or uncomfortable emotions.
  • Marked changes in attitude and personality.
  • Sleeping at strange hours of the day or night.
  • Using under dangerous circumstances, for example drinking and driving.
  • Using illegal means to obtain drugs or alcohol.

When you're grappling with drug or alcohol abuse, recovery may seem impossible. It may feel like nobody and nothing can help you. However, substance abuse and addiction is treatable. Others have recovered and so can you. Healing starts with the right support.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with substance-related problems, you can get confidential, zero-judgement support from a hotline in England. Recovery advocates will meet you where you're at. Whether you need a listening ear, or you're ready to start treatment, you can get the support you need.
