EDIT provides practical and therapeutic one to one support for adults who are using drugs and alcohol. We will work with all drug users regardless of their choice of drug/alcohol and the amounts they are using.
The first step is to make contact with us and come in for a chat about the problems you are having with drugs and alcohol and then a plan is made with you.
