| Comment | I'm a recovering addict with more than 21 years total abstinence.
If you go to a GP you may be offered a detox, but it's highly unlikely. Your GP will refer you to your local ADRS Alcohol Drug Recovery Service.
If there's children involved you will have to undergo a Parental Substance Misuse Assessment.
You may be offered what's known as ORT Opiate Replacement Therapy like methadone or suboxone or Buvidal depending on which worker you get.
I would personally recommend attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, this is a place where others who have been where you've been, have got clean and mainly apply a 12 Step program. A fellowship of recovering addicts who help each other stay clean.
Have a look at this link for meetings information [NA Glasgow ](https://www.glasgowna.com/)
Read some of the stuff on there, particularly the printable or downloadable content.
If you DM me I will email you lots of NA literature not available on that site too.
Good luck |
