I have an addiction…
What?
Recreational drugs and alcohol can affect your mental health in lots of different ways. It’s also hard to know where to find support if you are struggling with addiction. In some cases, using recreational drugs can lead to long-term mental health problems. For example, depression or schizophrenia. Or they could exacerbate pre-existing mental health problems.
How can I help?
The first option when struggling with addiction is to contact your GP. They will discuss with you about how your addiction is affecting you and will explain your treatment options.
While working through this process, you can get in contact with us for talking therapy. You can use the form below and we’ll get back in touch with you.
You might also find self-help groups helpful, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
