Do you take drugs, drink alcohol or take solvents for pleasure, to escape unhappiness, to reduce anxiety, relieve boredom, or to belong?
We all know taking drugs and excessive drinking is risky and dangerous. There can be a price to pay, death, serious health problems, imprisonment and some side effects that can be very frightening for you and for those around you.
If you suspect someone has taken drugs and is having a bad reaction, call 999 for an ambulance. Don’t mess around, act quickly; you won’t get into trouble for helping a friend – and you may even save their life!
There are community schemes to support you. The Kaleidoscope Alcohol Service and Gwent Drug Intervention Programme are designed to give confidential support and advice through difficult times and addictions.
