Gateway service
This is an open access service for all adults experiencing issues with drugs. The service provides advice, information, brief interventions and support for all those affected. The service also works with those in the Criminal Justice System providing the support necessary in order to stabilise them ready for structured treatment if appropriate.
Recovery service
This is the adult prescribing service. Those individuals who are using heroin and require a substitute such as Methadone can see a clinician who can provide the appropriate support. There is also a needle exchange on site.
