Changing Habits - support to break drinking habits and build new ways for coping with life's stresses
Changing Habits is a York service for people who have started to develop unhealthy drinking habits or whose alcohol consumption may be causing health or relationship problems. We offer help for your patient to change unhelpful drinking patterns and build new ways of coping with life's challenges. We envisage that most Changing Habits clients will have scores of 10-18 from a full AUDIT, but we will ensure that your patients get to the right service, whatever level of support they need, and can introduce them to York Health Trainers or York Drug and Alcohol Service if that is more appropriate for them.
Due to issues with the secure email, referrals to Changing Habits are currently by phone or post: 01904 621776 or see the referral form for the postal address. The service also accepts self-referrals.
For more information on the service, please contact the team: 01904 621776 or changinghabits@changing-lives.org.uk.
