Glasgow Alcohol Service for Young People: Glasgow
The Alcohol Service for Glasgow young people is a confidential service for young people age 12 to 18

About us:

The Glasgow service is available to young people who are concerned about their own alcohol or drug use or that of a parent or carer.

The aim of The Alcohol Service for Glasgow young people is to decrease harm and increase safety of young people in East Renfrewshire who are at increased risk associated with alcohol or drug use.

The service will provide Glasgow young people with someone to talk to in confidence who can offer advice and support as well as accurate and balanced information.

A support worker will meet with the young person in order to find out what support is required and to ensure that the drug & alcohol service for young people is the appropriate agency to help.

If you are a young person who would like support you can contact The Drug & Alcohol Service.

Please note that if you are a parent/carer or other agency who wishes to refer a young person to the Glasgow Alcohol Service for Young People we would ask that you talk through your concerns with the young person and consider with them the benefits of a referral. We will be unable to proceed with a referral without the consent of a young person. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns about this.

The Hillock: Alcohol Rehab – Alcohol Treatment: Glasgow
Alcohol Rehab and Alcohol Treatment, Scotland

About us:

Over 20yrs experience helping people UK wide with alcohol problems. Based in the outskirts of Glasgow, we offer a unique detox approach to problem drinking. Please contact us in confidence.

We help Anyone with alcohol problems, who wants help. There are a large number of people who have developed, or are developing, a drink problem. They know that something is wrong but do not, as yet, feel they wish to go to a doctor, AA, or any clinic. However, they would like and probably need a rest, detox and help with alcohol addiction.

We fit that much needed help, exactly. Alcohol treatment is different for each individual but what is essential is peace, understanding and help from people who have suffered from exactly the same problem.

Alex, who founded The Hillock 20 years ago, suffered from alcohol addiction himself. He decided he wanted to help others who were struggling with the same addiction and through the years he has developed an alcohol treatment programme which is unique in dealing with alcohol problems and is achieving an excellent success rate. Many people prefer to talk to someone who has experienced, what they are now going through and who fully understand addiction.

It is almost impossible for anyone who has not experienced the awful feeling we have coming off alcohol, to understand what exactly it is we go through! Everyone who stays with us is amazed at how much easier it is here at The Hillock.

The Hillock is an alcohol treatment centre which gives its attention to no more than five clients at a time. We believe this focus on small numbers combined with the quality of our care and counselling to be unique and fundamental to our success. We truly are, second to none.

We offer treatment tailored to your needs, whether group counselling activities or individual tailored sessions. Emphasis is placed upon treating our clients as individuals.

All this takes place in a private house, where peace and quiet take you away from the raw noise of modern life.
