Alcohol and drug misuse

Adult Services works in partnership with Health and a number of independent organisations to provide a broad range of services, available across Hampshire, to help reduce the problems caused by or associated with substance misuse. These services include:

• advice and information
• day support services
• structured treatment programmes

Some services are run by voluntary organisations, some by Health and/or by Adult Services.

• Visit the DAAT website for information on The Drug and Alcohol Action Team who work in partnership with all those concerned in reducing the harm caused by substance misuse to individuals, their families and communities.

Most services are provided in the community, although some specialist services such as detoxification and intensive rehabilitation programmes are usually provided in an in-patient or residential setting. You can contact many organisations without being referred by your doctor.
