Drug Addiction
If you have a problem with drugs, there's a wide range of addiction services that can help.
Some of these services are provided by the NHS, and some are specialist drug facilities run by charities and private organisations.
This guide to getting treatment for a drug problem will steer you through the options, so you can find help that works for you. If you have a problem with drugs, you have the same entitlement to care as anyone coming to the NHS for help with any other health problem.
With the right help and support it's possible for you to get drug free and stay that way.
Many drug treatment services accept self-referrals so, if you're not comfortable talking to your GP, you might be able to approach your local drug treatment service directly.
