Helpline Hours Over The Holidays

The Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs Helpline will be running at a reduced capacity during the holidays.

If no advisor is available you can leave a message and we will return your call.

For Saturdays and Sundays, we operate a callback service where you can either leave a message, email us or text us.

At peak times our Helpline may be busy. We have dedicated email and text advisors that can potentially respond faster to you.
