The Alcohol Service - Family and Carer Support

We understand the impact that alcohol misuse can have on families, friends, and loved ones and we know the struggles faced by those caring for a loved one who is dependent on alcohol or drugs.

We recognise that in order to help people in their recovery from alcohol, it is vital to also support the people around them.

Our Family & Carer Service provides advice and support to family members, friends, and carers and also seeks to involve family members in their loved one’s treatment
journey.

The service is free and confidential for anyone (aged 18 or over) living in Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea or Hammersmith & Fulham.
