Who We Are

Slough Treatment, Advice and Recovery Team (START) is free and confidential, available for anyone who is concerned about their own or someone else’s substance use.

Slough Community Hub (CHUB) offers a drop-in, one stop service to support with many aspects of your life, to aid your recovery from addiction. Based in the centre of your local community, we're open from 7am to 8pm, Monday to Friday.

Whether you need intensive support or just some brief advice, we will support you to make the changes you want to make.

Change, Mindfulness and Reclaim

Introduction to Change

"It isn't that I can't see the solution. It is that I can't see the problem". "I want to stop feeling so stuck" This is the perfect place to start treatment and open your mind to the possibilities on offer building confidence and motivation.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is about learning to live in the present, rather than in the past or an imagined future. Being mindful can increase awareness of your emotions and can support you to manage cravings, which makes slips and lapses less likely.

Reclaim

Designed to support people who are using non-opiate drugs and are considering making changes in their use. It can help you develop skills and commitment to making positive changes to your drug use.

Alcohol and Wellbeing

Designed to help you understand more about your drinking and how to cut down or stop. We offer two alcohol groups, your suitability will be depend on your drinking habits, both running for 8 weeks.

Dedicated support for alcohol use

Your Health

Our sessions will teach you new ways to manage your use as well as cutting down and quitting. We have a medical team who can provide treatment advice to complement and support your recovery.

Your Wellbeing

Our service supports you as a whole person helping you find the fun in life again with alternative activities, volunteering opportunities, the chance to meet new people and a safe space to talk. We can also support those you love which will aid your recovery and help them understand more and learn alongside you.

Preventing Overdose

To help reduce drug-related deaths we provide free overdose response Naloxone kits to people at risk of an opioid overdose, their family and friends, and members of the public who could help prevent an overdose.

Naloxone is a medication that can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, including those related to heroin, methadone, morphine, buprenorphine, codeine and synthetic opioids, like nitazenes and fentanyl. Order yourself a kit through our Naloxone Click & Deliver service and help save lives.
