Alcohol and drugs support in Adur
There are places you can go for help if you want to address your own drug
(or alcohol) use. Unfortunately most of the agencies which can help are based
in Worthing, but there are sometimes ways you can receive help with your
travel costs if you are on benefits.
If you want more details you can either contact the agencies below directly or contact Norma Buss, Community Alcohol and Drugs Worker.
Support for Friends and Families of Drug Users
Friends and Families Support Group
The group meets the first Thursday of every month, at the The Corner House, 45 Southwick Street, Southwick (opposite the Community Centre) at 7.30. We offer mutual support, outside speakers, and an opportunity to reduce the isolation friends and families of drug users often experience.
