"I have had so much support I know that I can come here and talk to people, I feel comfortable coming here. They're rushed off their feet but they still make time for you, without this place I don't know where I'd be. When you drink you hate yourself, you detest yourself. I don't feel ashamed anymore."

Working in partnership

ADS has always believed that the interests of people with alcohol and drug problems are best served by working in partnership - with commissioners of our services and other agencies - to achieve best practice and best value.

Here we offer the on-line addresses of some organisations whose work on renewal from alcohol and drug misuse is both respected and may be of interest to potential clients, workers and volunteers. ADS is not, however, responsible for the contents of external websites.

We will also post ADS newsletters and reports in this section. You will need Adobe Reader to download these documents. Find it here - it's free.
