We recognise both people and families can be on the receiving end of stigma. Scotland has the highest rate of drug deaths in Europe and access to effective services is more important than ever.

How we engage with individuals is crucial, assessing people’s needs is key. Their strengths and ambitions are what matter most. To remove barriers to wellness, we encourage individuals to create a community identity, build a sense of value and purpose throughout their recovery journey.

We use a trauma-informed approach throughout our Alcohol and Other Drugs services to promote hope, choice and resilience. Turning Point Scotland provide safe spaces for individuals to feel supported.    

Individuals have the power decide on their level of support. Turning Point Scotland’s Alcohol and Other Drugs services are flexible. We do not treat alcohol or other drug use in isolation, we work with the individual and their loved ones to ensure other support needs are addressed.
