Accessing free counselling and peer support for substance abuse
If you need help or know someone in Islington, Haringey, Barnet, Camden or Enfield who needs help with drugs or alcohol but can’t afford counselling you can refer them here for free counselling and peer support:
Timely support and help through free addiction services
We complement the work of larger drugs and alcohol services in north London boroughs by helping those who are in danger of falling through the gaps in society or who are stuck in the system.
We believe those who will benefit from our services are people who need that extra time, tolerance, patience and care to get the help they so desperately need.
We also provide this free addiction service with some extra counselling support from our partners Azura Minds. Our relationships in Islington and Haringey are growing.
Timely assistance
Community support
Professional team
Positive results
What makes us unique
Our concept is to be small, agile and personal, providing a non-judgemental quick intervention and free service with lived experience and abstinence at its heart.
Helping those who might fall through the gaps or who are stuck in the system
Supporting those who’ve tried recovery before and not got it – especially those who’ve tried controlled drinking/using but need abstinence
Busting misconceptions about 12-steps
Non-judgemental and connecting with people to enable a quick intervention
Helping those whose drug and alcohol use is preventing specialist counselling
Peer support volunteers needed
Rehabit are looking for volunteers with lived experience of addiction / substance abuse to join our team helping those struggling with drugs and alcohol.
Our definition of peer support is someone with lived experience of addiction, who practices a recovery programme, and who knows how to work with those who are ready for recovery or in early recovery.
