Bristol Drug Project is a Bristol-based charity to help you with alcohol and drug-related problems. With over 30 years of experience providing a free and confidential service, they have the expert knowledge to support you, whether you are looking for help for:
- yourself – looking for help with your alcohol or drug use
- someone you care about – a parent, carer, partner or friend seeking advice and support
- professional guidance – working in another organisation and wanting advice or information on alcohol and drug effects, services and support.
“BDP are always friendly and non-judgemental. “
“Alcohol and drug problems damage individuals, families and communities. Bristol Drugs Project is reducing harm, promoting change, challenging prejudice and maximising people’s potential.”
BDP works in local communities and health centres to support GPs and their patients who present asking for help. Shared care workers work with both GPs and patients to address a patient’s dependency through pharmacological and therapeutic interventions. BDP’s aim is to help reduce the harm to the patient and community from problematic alcohol and drug use by supporting substituting prescribing.
Regular one-to-one sessions are available with a BDP worker at the Old School Surgery for people who are alcohol or drug dependent and wish to receive substitute medication.
