Who is this for?

  • People age 16 and over in Highland who want support with their alcohol or drug use 
  • People who are worried about a loved one’s alcohol or drug use

How we can support you

Whether you’re looking for advice or ongoing support, we’re here to help. Our team can work with you to:

  • Explore your goals and what matters to you

  • Support safer use, cutting down, or stopping completely

  • Connect you with other services in addition if needed, including mental health, housing or benefits advice

  • Provide information about the support available to you as a family member or loved one

What to expect

You’ll receive free, non-judgmental support and advice from the WithYou team.

We want you to feel safe and comfortable when seeking support, and your privacy is really important to us.

Everything you tell us is confidential. The only time this might change is if we have serious concerns about your own or someone else’s safety.

How we can help

Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)

We use the CRAFT approach (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) to support family members, partners, and close friends of people affected by drug or alcohol use.

CRAFT is an evidence based approach that recognises how challenging it can be to support someone you care about, and that your wellbeing matters too.

Our aims

  • Support positive change and increase the chances your loved one will reduce drug or alcohol use, or seek help without pressure or ultimatums. 

  • Improve your wellbeing by supporting you to reduce stress, build resilience and look after your own emotional health whilst supporting someone with drug or alcohol challenges.

  • Strengthen relationships and communication by helping you develop calmer, clearer ways of communicating and helping conversations feel more constructive. 

How we work

We help family members learn practical skills to:

  • Communicate more effectively and be heard
  • Encourage and reinforce positive behaviour
  • Respond differently to difficult situations
  • Set healthy boundaries
  • Focus on self-care without guilt

Breaking Free Online

You can access Breaking Free Online - a free, confidential online drug and alcohol programme, designed to support you at your own pace.

We encourage you to use it alongside your WithYou recovery worker, who can guide you through the programme and help you focus on the areas that feel most relevant and helpful for you.
