We are with you

Welcome to We are with you. We’re a substance misuse service which supports young people up to the age of 25 and their families. Anyone can make a referral into our service for a young person, we just need the young person’s consent. 

Our service works with young people on a one-to-one basis offering guidance, support and education around alcohol and drugs, using psychosocial interventions we provide advice around harm minimisation, education, reduction plans and also support our young people to access clinical support including rehab and detox. We also have a hidden harm offer where we support young people who are experiencing difficulties due to parental substance misuse.

We have family workers who support parents who have young people in their families who are using substances. The family support can be one-to-one, either face-to-face or virtual, and we also have our virtual group sessions available to our parents accessing support. 

The young people who are accessing our service for substance misuse support, can also receive cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and EMDR therapy from our qualified CBT therapist.

We have offices in Lancaster, Preston and Burnley and a drop-in service at our Preston office where everyone is welcome to come and have a chat. 

Our service also offers training around different substances to professionals, young people and parents.
