Drugs & Alcohol

If you need support with drugs, alcohol or addiction issues Evolve can help.  Talk to one of our doctors or nurses to get advice and support.  They can work with you to get to where you want to be, or refer you to a specialist service if needed.

You can also call the alcohol and drug helpline on 0800 787 797 from 10am-10pm daily.
