Addiction
Addiction can affect anyone, and as a healthcare provider, you may find yourself supporting a patient, a colleague, or a loved one through recovery. This page provides essential resources to help you, your patients, or their families find the support needed to overcome addiction. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, gambling, or other forms of dependency, these services are here to assist on the journey to recovery.
If You, a Patient, or a Family Member Needs Help:
Here are some key areas of addiction support available:
Alcohol Support: These services are designed to help individuals who are struggling with alcohol dependency. They offer counselling, recovery programs, and ongoing support to aid in managing and overcoming alcohol addiction.
Drug Support: Resources for individuals battling drug addiction. From rehabilitation centres to recovery groups, these services provide the tools and guidance needed to manage and recover from substance abuse.
Gambling Support: For those dealing with gambling addiction, these services offer expert help, counselling, and recovery programs aimed at overcoming the compulsive need to gamble.
Eating Disorders: While often seen as a separate issue, eating disorders are closely related to addiction. These services specialise in recovery for individuals struggling with eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating.
