ESCAPE Family Support
At ESCAPE we recognise that the family, carers, and others supporting the individual require services in their own right. We also know that they can often be instrumental in encouraging a substance user to access treatment. From our base, at the Susan Kennedy Centre in Ashington, we work across Northumberland with those affected by a loved one's drugs and alcohol, offering a range of services, courses, and activities.
