Addict Support
Description
Ballymena Family & Addicts Support Group was established in December 2000 by a group of concerned parents who came together to offer support, information and advice to anyone affected by drug misuse. What is unique about the group is that everyone involved has someone who has or used to have a drug addiction so they have complete understanding of what you may be feeling if you discover a loved one who may be taking drugs.
We can offer you many different things but what is most important is that whatever you decide will be kept in the strictest confidence. If you simply want to talk to someone, if you need literature about signs and symptoms of drug use, or if you need your questions answered BFASG are here to help. We can aid in finding whatever help is necessary for you, for the family and for the person taking the drug.
We have family meetings every week where we share our feelings, thoughts and experiences and this gives us the opportunity to unload some of the pressures we may be feeling. However, we realise that not everyone wants to be in a 'group' and we make sure that if you just want to talk one on one that you can sit in our 'snug' room and talk in private.
