Services we offer
FAMILY / Carer SUPPORT
Who could benefit?
Substance misuse can affect families in many different ways. There is often
a stigma attached to drug and alcohol misuse that can lead partners, families
and friends to feel isolated and reluctant to seek help.
What do we offer?
We can provide advice, information, support and counselling to families or
friends of substance misusers. We can help you to develop coping strategies
and gain a better understanding of the issues that may affect the user and
the carer.
How do you contact us?
We can be contacted directly by telephone, letter or in person. We will offer
an appointment at home, our office or a mutually agreeable venue. If the
person you are concerned about is a TEDS service user, we will not discuss
any aspect of their care with you, whether you are family, a partner or friend
unless they give permission to do so. Likewise we will not discuss with the
service user anything about the work we may be doing with either family,
a partner or friend. Occasionally with the consent of everyone involved we
may facilitate joint work with all parties.
