Your Local GP:
A safe and familiar starting point
Our GP support service offers a unique advantage: the ability to access expert drug and alcohol support within your local GP practice. This means you can begin your recovery journey in a place where you already feel comfortable and have an established relationship with healthcare professionals.
Our dedicated recovery workers are stationed in GP practices throughout Lambeth, providing evidence-based assessment and treatment, supporting you to take that important first step easier than ever.

Here’s a closer look at the services our recovery workers provide within your GP practice.
