Substance misuse - drugs and alcohol
Public Health works with the Safer Doncaster Partnership to prevent and raise awareness of adult substance misuse throughout Doncaster.
Our focus is on recovery, enabling Doncaster residents to recover from their addiction to alcohol and/or drugs and to maintain harm reduction services.
Drug and alcohol treatment services
Listed below, are services to help you lessen the impact of your addiction to the point where you can live your life the way you want to. The treatment will also look to address all aspects of substance misuse such as housing, work, relationship, family, training and healthcare.
Information and support is also available to families, friends, carers, parents and children of those affected by drug addiction. Visit the Aspire website for further information on drugs and alcohol in Doncaster or view the national Drugs and Alcohol strategies:

Free and confidential services:
Needle and syringe programmes
Needle and syringe programmes are available via approved pharmacy sites which provide sterile injecting equipment to people who inject illicit drugs. They may also support adults who inject non-prescribed performance and image-enhancing drugs. The aim is to reduce the harm caused, particularly the spread of viruses such as hepatitis and HIV. Take some time out to watch High Five, a short public health commissioned film which promotes five ways to wellbeing in relation to drugs and alcohol recovery
