Concerned about someone else?
At CHANGE we don’t just support people struggling with dependency or addiction issues – we are also there for ‘affected others’ – these are people who are affected by, or worried about someone else’s addictive behaviours.
​
We understand how difficult it is to watch someone you love struggle with the effects of drug or alcohol use or another addictive behaviour, but we are unable to take referrals from you as a family member, carer or colleague on their behalf.
What you can do is encourage them to contact us and share our information with them and we can help you with that and offer One to One support to help you with the situation or refer you to a support group of people who are possibly living with a similar situation.
​
If you are a parent, a child, a sibling, a colleague or a friend of someone struggling – we can help you too – even if they have not yet recognised or accepted that they have a problem.
​
There is more information in an article in our blog which you can read by clicking HERE.
​
We are sometimes contacted by people who want to take urgent action to help a loved one.
We can only help people who approach us themselves.
​
If you would like to talk to an expert to help you to persuade your loved one to make this approach, you can book a session which will help you to do this but also be therapeutic for you.
If you would like to start the process in the usual way, we will need some details about you and the person you are concerned about.
Please complete the form below and we will be in touch, discretely and confidentially - or you can phone the CHANGE line on:
01539 266061
You can be completely confident that we will never disclose anything you tell us unless required to do so by law.
