Substance Misuse impacts individuals, their families and loved ones, communities, employers and local services. We understand that drug or alcohol issues can occur at any stage of life so our commissioned service offers support tailored for adults, and young people.
Blackburn with Darwen’s Public Health team wants any resident who feels that their relationship with drugs or alcohol is becoming, or already is, a problem to get the help, advice and support that they need.
Drug And Alcohol Support For Adults In Blackburn With Darwen
Blackburn with Darwen Council commission a comprehensive, local drug or alcohol service for both adults and young people. This service is free of charge, open, and accessible to all members of the community.
We recognise that individuals may initially seek only advice or information, and this support is always readily available. For those requiring more intensive assistance, the service offers a range of structured interventions. These may include counselling, inpatient and community detoxification, and residential rehabilitation, all delivered as part of a planned and personalised treatment pathway.
Our adult drug and alcohol support service is staffed by experienced, professional, and non-judgemental practitioners. The team is committed to delivering a person-centred approach, tailoring interventions to meet individual needs and supporting service users in both addressing substance misuse and maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.
Support is also extended to family members and others who may be concerned about someone else’s drug or alcohol use. The service offers guidance and support to those affected, recognising the broader impact of substance misuse on families and communities.
