Service details

Antidote is the UK’s only LGBT+ run and targeted drug and alcohol support service. We’re here to give non-judgemental free advice and support delivered by highly trained staff and volunteers - all of whom identify as LGB or T, and who have a good understanding of the pressures and problems that come with recreational drug or alcohol use.

We offer:

• Chemsex advice and support

• A structured weekend programme

• One-to-one key working to address immediate drug and alcohol support needs

• Referral to detox clinics and prescribing centres

• Referral to our counselling service

• Drop-ins to discuss drug and alcohol issues, sexual health and steroid use issues

• A telephone advice helpline

• Training and support for healthcare professionals

• Women workers are available across the service
