When someone needs support with drug or alcohol use, their family and friends can make a big difference. Your presence and care really matter and often just being there in a supportive, non-judgemental way is a big help.

However, if you need professional support, we can help. Not only do we provide services for those who are directly affected by their own substance use, we can also help the people close to them, so if you need to talk to someone, please reach out. 💙

It's and today we are sharing this quote from someone who has accessed our service

💬 “I was in a very dark patch in life before I managed to get help, when I did my worker was more than helpful. I did have a wobble earlier this year but when I did I reached back out for the help and now I've never felt better and I can control my drinking now.”

Q: What if I also need support with my mental health?

A: We understand that drug and alcohol use and mental health are closely linked, and both deserve the right to support. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out, we can provide support across both of these areas. The important thing is reaching out for support when you need it.

Our team will:
👂 Listen without judgement
💡 Help you explore your options
✨ Work with you to find the best support for your needs

It's and today's topic is 'Hair of the dog'.

"Hair of the dog" refers to consuming more alcohol to treat a hangover. Drinking more alcohol will only delay your hangover, prolong dehydration and make symptoms return more severely. It also increases the risk of developing alcohol dependency.

Instead, we recommend:
💧 Rehydration
💤 Rest
🍎 Eating healthy nutritious food
🚗 Avoid driving

🥤 Prevention is the best remedy, so try alternating alcohol with water when drinking, limiting your alcohol intake and sticking to the recommended units
💙 If you find that you are experiencing hangovers more often than you would like, and would like help reducing your intake, please reach out for support.

🔗 If you are unsure about the UK recommended guidelines for alcohol intake, they are available here: https://orlo.uk/hiZnU
🔗 You can also use the Alcohol Change UK interactive unit calculator to help keep on track: https://orlo.uk/96VOD
