Drug and Alcohol Services - Camden
How we can help
We're here to support you.
We help adults over 18 who are struggling with drugs or alcohol. Our services can support you through your journey to recovery. We can also give you advice about reducing the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.
Our services are free and confidential. We can answer any questions or worries you might have about:
- Alcohol
- Drugs (including steroids)
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications, including sleeping pills and tranquillisers
- How drugs and/or alcohol are affecting your mental health
We know it isn’t easy to take that first step and visit the service for the first time. When you first visit one of our services, someone will sit down with you to discuss your challenges and goals and answer any questions you have.
We can help you find the tools you need to meet your goals, and any extra support you need along the way.
If you live in Camden and would like support, you can come to our assessment drop-in service. To book an assessment at our Kilburn site, please complete our online referral form.
Your first visit
When you first visit the service, a friendly member of staff will greet you in reception and let your Recovery Worker know that you have arrived for your appointment.
Feel free to bring a friend, family member or support worker if you like, and please let us know if you have any extra requirements prior to the appointment.

Employment support
Our Individual Placement and Support (IPS) team can support you with finding employment which meets your goals and aspirations.
If finding or getting back to work is part of your recovery goal, we can help you find the right job for you. We can also support you to maintain your current job.
We'll help you find the right job, contact employers to seek out new opportunities, and provide you with on-the-job coaching. From benefits advice and job searching, to interviews and beyond, we’re with you every step of the way.
You can ask your key worker to refer you into this service if you are aged 18 - 65 and would like to access support into employment.
You can also email camden.ips@cgl.org.uk or call 020 7485 2722 to refer yourself or for more information.
