Have your say on drug and alcohol services in Walsall
Published on
Walsall residents and stakeholders are invited to have their say on the needs of people affected by drug and alcohol use in Walsall.
The Beacon in Walsall town centre.
Walsall Council arranges drug and alcohol support services to help people cut down, stop using substances and stay in recovery. This is done by understanding what is needed in Walsall, deciding what services are required, and then buying and monitoring those services.
People affected by drugs and alcohol often need a wide range of support. This can include medications and counselling, as well as help with mental and physical health, housing, benefits, employment, and building positive family and social relationships.
The Council is required to re-commission services when contracts come to an end. The current contract (with The Beacon) ends in March 2027. Residents and stakeholders are invited to share their views to help the Council ensure that the best possible drug and alcohol service is commissioned for communities.
“ Our drug and alcohol services are important to residents across the borough in helping them access the support they need to help them recover and stay in recovery. Whether you have used the service or not, or if you’re a professional or volunteer working with people affected by substance use, we would like to hear from you. “

The service includes needle exchange, one-to-one and group support, prescribing and detox, testing and treatment for blood-borne viruses, help accessing other health and care services, and support into employment.
