Alcohol and Drugs Support Southwest Scotland

This service offers help for people affected by alcohol, drugs or gambling problems.

We offer a safe and private space in a relaxed and confidential setting, with a trained ADS counsellor who will help you explore your present situation in a non-judgemental way, giving you the opportunity to make sense of the issues affecting your life.

ADS mentors can provide company on social outings or simply ongoing support if you are experiencing difficulties coping.

Group sessions also offer the opportunity to socialise with like-minded people in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

If you have difficulty in obtaining or maintaining a tenancy in circumstances because of alcohol or drugs problems, an ADS housing support worker may be able to help.

We can assist you to develop independent living skills, such as managing finances, a healthier diet and general house maintenance.
