A NEW drug and alcohol service for North Yorkshire adults with misuse and dependence problems has been launched.
North Yorkshire County Council said it had awarded contracts for the provision of its new integrated substance misuse service to two highly experienced voluntary sector organisations, DISC and Lifeline Project.
Cllr Don Mackenzie, Executive Member for Public Health, said North Yorkshire Horizons would be very much focused on helping and supporting people to recover from substance misuse and dependence.
“This new service will be simpler for people to use and access. We believe that people who misuse drugs and alcohol deserve the very best evidence based help available, and we are confident that North Yorkshire Horizons will provide that.” The service can be contacted on 01723 330730.
