The drug or alcohol treatment service or care manager will arrange an appointment with you to talk about what sort of help you might need. This is called an assessment. By law we must carry out an assessment before arranging any services to help you.

Is there a charge?

• there is no charge for the assessment
• there is no charge for most drug and alcohol services
• before arranging any services, your social services worker will explain any costs and financial help that may be available to you
