Support the SDAS Making Changes January Campaign

As professionals and partners in Somerset, you have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on our community's health and wellbeing. Turning Point’s, Somerset Drug and Alcohol Service (SDAS) invites you to join our ‘Making Changes’ January campaign, aimed at individuals wanting to make changes to their drinking and/or drug use.

By collaborating with us, you can help us reach more individuals in need, offering them a chance to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Why January?

January is a time synonymous with fresh starts and new beginnings. After the festive season, many reflect on their habits and consider resolutions for healthier living. Our campaign aligns perfectly with this mindset, offering support and guidance to those questioning their relationship with alcohol and drugs. Campaigns like 'Dry January' have shown the power of collective action in promoting positive lifestyle changes. We aim to build on this momentum, providing harm reduction advice that empowers individuals to take control of their health.

What We Offer

SDAS is committed to providing free, confidential, and non-judgmental support to those who need it. Our services include:

  • One-to-One Support: Work with a dedicated team member in a safe, confidential space to create a personalized care plan.
  • Evidence-Based Programs: Learn strategies to manage cravings, develop healthier habits, and make sustainable changes.
  • Timely Assistance: Once referred, our goal is to connect with you within 5 to 10 days.
    Comprehensive Support: We also offer help for young people, families, and friends affected by someone else's drinking or drug use, along with access to detox and rehab services.
