A person who needs treatment for drug addiction is entitled to NHS care in the same way as anyone else who has a health problem.
Where to get help for drugs
A GP is a good place to start. They can discuss your problems with you and get you into treatment.
They may offer you treatment at the practice or refer you to your local drug service.
