Recovery Near You is a free and confidential service, commissioned by the City of Wolverhampton Council and run by crime reduction charity Nacro in partnership with Aquarius and Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Anyone who is concerned about their own drinking or drug use, or someone else’s, can seek help and support through them.
If you are concerned about your drinking or drug use we can support you. They offer:
expert, friendly advice and support
one-to-one and group sessions
vaccinations and testing for blood-borne viruses
a needle exchange scheme
help with reducing your drinking or drug use or stopping completely
support for families and friends
signposting to other agencies including housing, education and employment support services
The service works with local employers to include interview practice, skills training, observational placements, work experience, apprenticeships, guaranteed interviews or jobs, and will also work closely with professionals like GPs, pharmacists, social workers and probation officers to help them work more effectively on drug and alcohol related issues.
Fully qualified staff, volunteers and mentors will be on hand to help with the full range of problems associated with drugs and alcohol and, after addressing any immediate concerns, they will work to bring about the more permanent changes people want in their lives.
For more information, get in touch through the contact details listed on this site. Please see their website for opening times; however, their helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
