Drug & alcohol support

We have over 30 years’ experience supporting people to overcome drug and alcohol problems. We will work with you to achieve your goals, whether that’s building a life completely free from substances or simply cutting down and staying safe.

Who we help

We can normally help if you are aged 18+ and live in one of the areas we provide community services. Currently, these are: East Kent, Hull, Liverpool, Essex, Wiltshire, Southend, and Medway. 

Our residential rehabs, The Bridges and Clouds House, help anyone aged 18+ who wants to become totally substance-free and make positive changes in their lives.

We also support people in a number of prisons across England that want help to address issues with drugs or alcohol. 

What to expect

We provide friendly, non-judgemental support, no matter what substance you use or what you have gone through in the past. Many of our staff have personal experience of drug and alcohol issues themselves, so we understand what you’re going through.

We also know that no one person is the same. That’s why we offer a range of different treatment options, from programmes that can support people to become completely abstinent to harm minimisation and advice on cutting down.

The staff at Forward were brilliant and so helpful. I found this was because many of Forward’s staff have gone through the recovery process themselves, so they know what it is like.
