Overview
Addiction is complex and can take over your life. Regain control and take the first step to recovery, today.
If you are looking to take your first steps in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, you can get NHS care in the same manner you would for any other health problem.
Depending on your situation, a number of options are available to you.
You will then have a treatment plan which may include:
- Talking therapies
- Treatment with medicines
- Detoxification
- Self-help strategies
Common symptoms
