The scheme was set up to support those who have appeared in court on charges brought about by misuse of alcohol.  It offers an integrated range of assessment, education and  counselling services intended to:

  • increase client’s knowledge and attitudes  towards responsible  consumption of alcohol, especially in relation to offending.

  • try to prevent the development of serious alcohol problems.

  • encourage clients to change (reduce, stop, modify drinking behaviour).
