We recognise the vital role that families and friends play in helping drug users maintain good health and regain a normal life.  We help families by providing information and appropriate support through our telephone support line and the FDS Insight bulletin.

Family Drug Support have also produced a parent help and information kit entitled A GUIDE TO COPING to aid parents, families and friends of drug users. The kit was designed to fill the serious gap in the availability of information and support. This resource also provides help on how to deal with crisis situations such as overdose and up-to-date information on treatment options.

We believe that by helping families of drug users we are ultimately helping the user. To achieve this we need your support.  We mostly run on a volunteer basis with a small grant from the government. Therefore your subscription and/or donation will enable our organization to continue its work.
