Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs

Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs is a national charity which supports anyone affected by someone else’s alcohol or drug use in Scotland, whether they are still actively using substances, are in recovery, or you are bereaved. We can chat, offer listening support and information, and link you to our services or services local to you.

Our support team are a small group of advisors who aim to give an individualised response to every enquiry as quickly as possible. We experience a high volume of calls and work hard to answer every one of them. If we do not answer your call, please leave a voicemail and one of our advisors will get back to you.

If a Scottish Families advisor is not available and you feel this cannot wait, please contact our friends at Know the Score who can assist with specific support. Their Helpline is available till 9pm at 0800 587 5879. If you or someone else is at immediate risk or you need immediate help, please contact 999, Police Scotland on 101 or the Samaritans on 116 123.
