“Substance abuse only impacts certain people” | Recovery Near You | Substance misuse

Substance misuse can affect anyone, and support is available to people from all walks of life.

In this video, Karl, a member of the team challenges some of the assumptions people may have about substance misuse and explains why you cannot always tell when someone is experiencing difficulties with drugs or alcohol.

The video highlights the range of support available through Recovery Near You, including for people from different backgrounds and circumstances. It also explores the importance of community in recovery, showing how support is about more than clinical or medical treatment — it is about helping people build connections, develop confidence and feel part of their wider community.
