Medway Young Person Drug and Alcohol Service

Who we are?

We support young people up to the age of 18 or (21 if looked after and in care)  who are affected or are experiencing issues with drugs and/or alcohol. We are a free and confidential service. We don’t judge and we don’t tell people what to do. We are here to listen and support you to make the positive changes that you want to make. We have a young person in Gillinghan where you can drop in to see us or alternatively, we are able to come and see you wherever is most convenient for you. We can meet you in school or college, at your home, community setting or anywhere else you feel comfortable and safe.

How can we support you?

We can help if you are worried about a friend or family member and their drink or drug use. We have helped lots of people and we can help you too.
