Drugs and alcohol

The Community Wellbeing Hub (CWH) brings together partners that offer support to people who need help with drug, alcohol and other addictions. Partners will work together to ensure that the right support is offered to meet the needs of the person and, where necessary, will refer to other services.

Developing Health and Independence (DHI)

DHI provides a wide range of help depending on someone’s individual needs. Some people just need a bit of help in order to end their problematic use of drugs or alcohol, while other people will need more intensive and long term help. Anyone who accesses DHI's services will have an assessment of their needs and they will discuss how best they can help.

Their services include:

1:1 sessions
Structured group programme (including abstinence support groups and mutual aid)
Harm reduction advice and needle exchange
Naloxone training and provision
Peer support
Alcohol service
Preparation for detox
Criminal justice service
Domestic abuse perpetrators programme (RSVP)
Education and employment support (West of England Works)
