Change Grow Live Manchester: Drug and Alcohol Service
Change Grow Live Manchester work with anyone looking to make positive changes related to drug and alcohol use. We approach treatment with an open mind, free from judgement. If your goals don't include treatment and recovery but you do want to reduce the harmful impacts of drug and alcohol use, we can help with this too.
Change Grow Live are a national organisation, with the aim to help people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals and live life to its full potential.
In Manchester, we also offer support with harm reduction, needle exchange, housing, criminal justice, education and training and homeless outreach. We have links with other services including a smoking cessation service also run by Change Grow Live, called Be Smoke Free - Manchester, and we offer a service which works specifically with young people, called Eclypse.
We also deliver training to professionals on topics related to drug and alcohol use, which you can find on our Eventbrite page: Change Grow Live Manchester Events
