Alcohol Counselling Service

Theme: Improving Health & Care

 

Project Description: A Substance Misuse Counsellor has been in post since November 2001, providing one-to-one, confidential counselling support for adults in West Middlesbrough experiencing problems with alcohol - this may be an individual, partner, family member or friend.

 

Weekly clinics run in West Middlesbrough for drug and alcohol users.  Training can be given to local groups about alcohol misuse.

 

Clients can also be offered an acupuncture detox therapy or electro-stimulation therapy, both of which can help alleviate the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.

 

A luncheon club runs every fortnight at St Cuthbert’s Youth and Community Centre to provide healthy meals for vulnerable adults – particularly those affected by substance misuse - living in West Middlesbrough.

 

When Project Starts and Ends: November 2001 to March 2006

 

Key Partners: Part of Reducing Drug and Alcohol Abuse project
