If you are thinking about reducing your drug use maybe you would like some information and support. Or if you are worried about somebody and how their drug use is affecting you and your family perhaps you would like some help.
Sometimes people don’t get help because they feel shame talking about how drugs affect them and their families.
Aboriginal Alcohol and Drug Workers and other health professionals are there to help you. They will not put you down. They will listen and help you work out what you want to do. They can show you ways to reduce harm, cut down or stop using. They can help you access medical support, rehabilitation services, counselling and support.
It may not be easy reducing your drug use but your friends, family, and other people in your community can support you to make changes.
