Services

The Alcohol Early Intervention Team is for people who may be drinking more than they should but who may not need medical or long term support. There are many people in this position and who, with some short term help can make changes which can make a big difference to them, their family and friends. The service is not about formal clinical treatment but giving people information and offering support so they can make healthy lifestyle choices.

Aspire is a partnership organisation set up by The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) a registered charity and Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH). We pride ourselves on being innovative and forward thinking, and work closely with the recovery communities we serve to provide flexible, responsive services, which offer the best possible recovery outcomes for all our service users.

Becoming drug or alcohol free is just a step on the road to recovery and for many people re-establishing themselves back in the community and building a life is the  most challenging part of the recovery journey. Our 12 week abstinence based Structured Day Programme is designed to support sustainable recovery.

Supporting Change for Families and carers We know that family and carers of people with addiction can feel helpless by what is sometimes described as the chaos that surrounds them. It affects not just the person with the problem but those closest to them. We offer a range of different support for family and carers and offer the opportunity for people in recovery to volunteer as mentors.

The vast majority of people who use image enhancing drugs are not professional athletes but people looking for a healthier and better looking body. The use of such substances is growing and differs from the use of other illicit substances because it is not initially driven by an immediate euphoria, but by the desire to change appearance and performance. Although growing in popularity it can be difficult to get accurate help and advice. Our new service offers free, confidential and accurate advice.
