How would one find out the following information? Where to find a needle exchange in North Shields, residential rehabilitation for a drug user in Gwent, advice for a solvent misuser in Bradford, an urgent detoxification for a heroin user in London or alcohol counselling in Fife? One could contact the duty psychiatrist at the local hospital or even the duty social worker in the relevant social services district. However, if they did not know the Regional Drug and Alcohol Unit should be able to help. But if they were unable to, where else could one turn?
