This service is for people aged 18 years and over who care for and are affected by someone else’s use of drugs or alcohol. Service users can have one to one emotional support and counselling. There are monthly peer support groups on the first Tuesday and first Thursday of the month. Training for carers and families affected by alcohol use is run in partnership with NHS Lothian. There are also opportunities for carers to take a short break.
