what we do

How we can help

If you're affected by drugs or alcohol in any way, we're here to help you find the support that feels right for you. 

Whether you use drugs or alcohol, care about someone who does, or just need someone to talk to, you're welcome at CDAS. 

We know that everyone's story is different. You don't have to have everything worked out before you reach out. We'll listen, get to know what matters to you, and build support around your needs, your goals, and your pace.

Drug and alcohol support for adults

If you're over 18 and worried about your drug or alcohol use - or just want to make a change - we're here to help.

You don't need a referral or to know exactly what you want. Just come as you are. 

We'll listen without judgment and help you access support that feels right for you.

Support for young people

If you're aged 5-19 and drugs or alcohol are affecting your life, we're here to help. That might mean your own use, or someone close to you. Either way, you don't have to deal with it alone.

Support for friends and family

If someone you care about is facing challenges with drugs or alcohol, it can be hard to know what to do or how to cope.

Our team can help you understand what's happening, look after your own wellbeing, and find ways to support your loved one safely.
