Alcohol Service

Within the Alcohol Service we offer a wide range of services depending on what is most useful to you, and can help you access other services that may be of benefit. We also work with family members affected by alcohol use. This service is only available to people living in North Bristol.

Is this service for me?

We recognise that people need different kinds of support depending on how they feel about their own or someone else's alcohol use. We realise that some may not be ready a complete change, whilst other's do wish to end their use and maintain a different lifestyle. Firstly, we will help you decide what feels right for you and support you in achieving your goals. We only use approaches that have been proven to be effective.

What services are available?

Key Sessions: A good starting point if you are thinking about change. It offers up to three, one-to-one sessions to help you explore change.
