Drugs

In Devon, there is free, confidential help available to help you stop your drug use – from quick advice and harm reduction information through to treatment and recovery support.

Advice and support

If you need some confidential advice you can call, text or email Frank directly – there’s also a live chat option.

You can speak to your GP if you are worried about your drug use and think you might need support from the local community drug treatment team.

In Devon, if you are aged 18 and over you can also seek support from Together (Waythrough) – providers of the local community drug treatment services.
