Substance Misuse
Substance Misuse support has changed
If you are caring for or affected by another’s problematic use of alcohol or substances it can be a lonely and sometimes frightening experience that can impact the whole family.
Specialist support for family carers and affected others is now available directly from Turning Point and their partners including Anglia Care Trust and Iceni. To access this support please email suffolk@turning-point.co.uk or call 07483 420567
