Overview

Here at ASCERT we recognise that people can have a range of complex needs that are contributing to their substance use problems and which will impact on recovery.

Co-existing issues such as mental health, financial problems, relationship issues, housing and homelessness and threat and intimidation can have a profound impact on anyone’s wellbeing and their efforts to engage in and benefit from alcohol and/or drug prevention, intervention, recovery and postvention services.

To follow is a list of a range of other statutory and community/voluntary agencies and bodies who may be able to offer additional support to you alongside the services you can access with ASCERT.

Disclaimer: Although ASCERT will make every effort to keep this list accurate and current, it can accept no liability for inaccurate or out-of-date information contained in these listings. ASCERT merely presents this list to provide its website visitors with suggestions on other agencies/bodies that they may wish to learn more about and/or engage with.
