This section of the site is aimed at the person who may be thinking about contacting us because of a problem with alcohol or drugs. It could be your problem or problems you think someone close to you is experiencing.

"Ten Facts About Us" tries to answer some of the questions you might have about how you can get in touch with us and the decisions you might make.

Our quiz looks at some of the common myths around drugs and alcohol. We have some comments and reflections from former residents that will give you some idea of the changes that people have made in their lives after time spent with us.

Lastly, we wish to develop a Message Board for past and future service users at Northlands. If successful, you will be able to log on and send messages/ask questions about all aspects of addiction and recovery. You can ask questions anonymously and maybe read about the struggles and successes of others. Recovery is often a hard-won state of mind so this can be another resource to help you get there.
