Drug and alcohol recovery
On this page
Recovery from drug and alcohol use is an everyday reality in thousands of lives.
Many pathways to recovery exist, and recovered people are part of the solution. The aim and focus of all our work is recovery.
There are community drug and alcohol teams across NHS Highland, based in a wide variety of settings including GP practices, community hospitals, the local Council, and a range of satellite settings. They provide support, advice and treatment to individuals living with drug or alcohol issues.
