Substance Use Counselling in Lancing

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Lancing it is a twenty to twenty-five minute drive east along the A259, or a short train journey, to reach Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Lancing or blend the two.

No, and that belief keeps a great many people waiting for years longer than they need to. Daily use simply becomes part of what we look at, including what the day would actually be like without it. Change tends to follow understanding rather than precede it.

Medical assessment, prescribing, testing and a structured programme, all free of charge, reached through West Sussex County Council's drug and alcohol support. Counselling addresses the psychological side of things instead. A good many people use both, and doing so has no bearing on either.

You can begin with a free 15-minute consultation, then sessions are £80 / 60 min, £100 / 90 min and £120 / 120 min. Payment is per appointment, with nothing bought in advance, so you can stop or take a break without any complication.

Yes. There is some flexibility on timing, and online sessions in particular make it easier to fit support around a commute and a full week without adding a long journey.

Yes. Lancing Station is on the main coastal line, with trains east through Shoreham and Portslade to Hove and a short walk to Western Road; by car the A259 takes twenty to twenty-five minutes. Start with a free fifteen-minute call on 07914 681995 or online.

Both. In West Sussex you can self-refer to Change Grow Live for free substance help with no GP needed. Privately, fees are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours after a free call, and the two can run side by side.

Yes. A short train or drive brings you to the Hove room, with evening appointments to ease the fit around work, but secure video is equally private if you prefer home. You can move between in-person and online as your week falls.
