Drug addiction

Lifestyle on Prescription aims to encourage lifestyle changes, showing that common conditions can be improved through behaviour changes.

If any substance takes a hold on you and your life this usually means you are addicted and should seek help. Many drug treatment services will accept a self-referral although it may be best to talk to your doctor in the first instance. Like other services which treat addictions, there is plenty of support available but the level of support will depend on the nature and level of your addiction.

The NHS Drug addiction pages offer advice, support and related facts.
