What this can mean

Addiction recovery support covers substance use and behavioural dependencies, from early concern through structured treatment and aftercare.

When it may help to seek support

If substance use is affecting your health, work or relationships — or you're worried about someone who uses — a counsellor or recovery programme can help you understand your options.

What a first session looks like

An initial conversation usually covers your history and goals so the provider can recommend an appropriate level of support, from counselling to structured treatment.
