Substance use intro text
Recovery can mean different things to different people, a move towards abstinence, stability, self-development or employment.
Drugs and alcohol can affect people from all walks of life, in many different ways.
All of our services are needs-led, which means we are committed to offering recovery services via a person-centred approach, to ensure that we are supporting individuals (and their families) to achieve their own recovery goals.
East Lothian's Substance Use Team, in conjunction with MELDAP partners, provide advice, support and treatment services for individuals using drugs and / or alcohol and supporting family members.
