Drug and alcohol support in Darlington

Drug and alcohol support

STRIDE (Supporting Treatment & Recovery in Darlington through Empowerment) is Darlington’s free and confidential drug and alcohol partnership, offering help with support, treatment and recovery.

You can get help whether you want advice, to cut down or to stop using drugs or alcohol altogether. The team works with you to understand your goals and support you in a way that feels right for you.

There are now online referral options, to make it easier to get support.
