Sadly this is not yet available everywhere. Please check the list below and, if you are covered by one of the options, complete the form to begin.

Adfam@Home - Coventry

We offer a series of remote one-to-one support sessions to adults affected by the drug or alcohol use of a loved one who live in the Coventry local authority area, as well as to those whose loved ones using substances reside there.

Our experienced worker listens to you and can work through a range of topics which others affected by someone’s substance use have found helpful. Our worker will (metaphorically!) walk alongside you as you plan a way forward and may suggest further support or advice if appropriate.
