Supporting someone into CDAS
If you’re a professional in Stoke-on-Trent supporting someone affected by drugs or alcohol, you can help connect them to us. The process is slightly different depending on whether they’re an adult (18+) or a young person (under 18).
Supporting Adults (18+) into CDAS
The simplest way for someone to access our support is to attend our drop-in service.
Our drop-in is open:
- Monday to Wednesday: 9:30am - 2:30pm
- Friday: 9:30am - 12:30pm
We are located at Unit 2, Whittle Court, 5 Town Road, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 2QE.

Young People (under 18)
Our dedicated young people's team works with ages 5-18 who want support with their own drug or alcohol use or are affected by someone else's use (for example, a parent, carer, or family member).
For young people, we ask for a referral from a professional. Once we receive the referral we will contact the young person (or their parent/carer if under 16), arrange a chat in a safe space that works for them, and explain how we can support them and what they can expect.
