The Families, Partners and Friends Service (Islington only)
A person's drug or alcohol misuse has a big impact on people close to them. Family members and friends can find their own health and well being badly affected.
People close to a drug or alcohol user can find themselves trapped in the trauma of addiction; feeling responsible, but unsure how to help. They are often desperate for advice and support for themselves.
Our service can help a family member, partner or friend to regain control over their own life, whether or not the drug or alcohol user is also receiving help.
Who the service is for
- People whose life is made difficult by the drug or alcohol use of someone close to them.
- People who need a safe place to talk about their problems.
- Residents of Islington who are aged 16 or over.
