We’re bringing support closer to you.

As of this month, SSS teams are based in community hubs across Fife, making it easier to find support near your home.

If alcohol or drug use is affecting you, we’ll start with what matters to you. That might include housing, money, mental health, trauma or relationships.

There’s no judgement. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you speak to us.

If you need support, or want support for someone you know, please use our referral form here:
https://substancessupportscotland.secureserversites.net/make-a-referral

We’ll get back to you very soon.

Our new Assertive Outreach and Recovery Service is delivered through joint working with Fife Alcohol and Drug Partnership.

We’ll listen to what’s going on and help you explore the support that’s right for you.

Meet George, one of our Community Navigators supporting people across East & Midlothian.

George knows that taking the first steps can feel overwhelming. Sometimes what makes the difference is simply having someone there with you. At an appointment, in a café, or just on the end of the phone.

This August, Thomas Hastie will cycle more than 2,300km from Musselburgh to Benidorm as part of his challenge, Miles That Matter.

He's taking on this incredible journey in memory of his sister, who he sadly lost to su***de, and after losing both his mum and dad at a young age.

Tommy speaks openly about the impact these losses had on his own mental health and why he believes having someone to talk to can make all the difference.

He's raising money for Andy's Man Club, helping ensure men have a safe place to talk, support one another and know they're not alone.

At Substances Support Scotland, we believe in the power of conversation, connection and community, which is why Tommy's story resonates so strongly with us.

If you'd like to support Tommy's challenge, donate or simply read more about his story, you can do so here:

Good luck Tommy, from everyone at Substances Support Scotland.
Every mile matters. 💙🚲

We are delighted to announce that Substances Support Scotland has been awarded £150,000 through the ALLIANCE’s Self Management Fund.

Over the next two years, this funding will support Side by Side, a new project designed to strengthen early self-management capacity for people affected by alcohol and drug use. The project will work alongside people to build confidence, wellbeing and practical self-management skills, helping them navigate challenges and make positive changes that matter to them.

Shaped by lived and living experience, it will ensure that the voices of the people we support remain at the heart of its development.

We are excited to begin this work and to contribute to learning about how self-management approaches can improve wellbeing and support recovery.

We would like to thank the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) and the Scottish Government for supporting this work.
