How we support you

If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s drug use, we are here to help.

At Inclusion Isle of Wight, we know that everyone’s experience with drug use is unique—and so is the support that works best for you. Our team is here to work alongside you, offering not just support and information, but also practical strategies and clinical interventions to help you reduce risks and harms related to drug use. We tailor our approach to respect your choices and support your personal goals, whether that means harm reduction, cutting down, or working towards stopping altogether.

Your Path, Your Choices
You are the expert in your own life and recovery. We work alongside you to understand your goals and reasons for reaching out. Whether you want to cut back, stop using, or simply get some guidance, we’ll support you throughout your journey.

Flexible Support Tailored to You
Our support is adaptable to fit your situation. If you use drugs occasionally and want advice, we’re here to help. If drug use is becoming a concern, we’ll explore the options with you and find the right kind of support—whether that’s reducing use or stopping completely. For those facing serious challenges related to drug use, we offer a range of treatments and ongoing care to help you regain control and wellbeing.

Flexible Support – In Person and Online
We offer support in a variety of ways to suit your needs. You can visit us in person at our hub or outreach locations, or you can access support online from wherever you feel comfortable.
Our group sessions are available both in person and online. We can also arrange structured one-to-one sessions online if that works better for you. We understand that sometimes self-help is most useful when you can do it in your own time, at your own pace. That’s why our online options are flexible and can be tailored to the level of support you want.

Believing in Your Strength to Change
We believe positive change is possible. By combining your knowledge of your own life with our experience and evidence-based approaches, we can work together to find what works best for you. Whether you need a little support or a lot, you’ll find respect, encouragement, and practical help here.

You Are Not Alone
No matter where you are in your journey, we’re here to listen and support you—moving at your pace and respecting your choices.
