Commissioning drug and alcohol treatment and support services for young people, adults, families and carers throughout Oxfordshire

Families and Carers

You don't have to misuse alcohol or drugs to suffer from alcohol or drug misuse. Oxfordshire DAAT and SMART have produced a dvd entitled 'Heroin and Crack, Inside and Out - the biology and psychology of addiction' aimed at helping to demystify addiction. An extract from the dvd can be seen here.

The dvd "Heroin and Crack - Inside and Out" is free to Oxfordshire residents, please email reception@oxfordshiredaat.org for a copy.

If you are affected by someone else's substance misuse, there are a variety of support services available which can be on an individual basis or through the support groups in your local area.
