Substance misuse


Habits of drug and alcohol misuse start because we think they might help us in some way, but a habit gets stronger and harder to stop the longer they go on. It’s really important for both you and your children that you break habits with drugs and alcohol.

Habits can become addictions which are very damaging to families. If you are pregnant you should avoid the use of drugs at all cost, it is very harmful to you and your baby and can have big consequences on your own and your child’s future.

The Stoke-on-Trent Community Drug and Alcohol Service has lots of information and guidance to help you break the habit. Stoke-on-Trent Community Drug & Alcohol Service - Home (scdas.org.uk)
