Substance Use Counselling in Peacehaven

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Peacehaven the coast road runs west through Saltdean and Brighton to the Hove office in around twenty to twenty-five minutes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Peacehaven or blend the two.

No, and turning up honest matters more than turning up clean. Coming to a session in the state you are actually in tells us something useful. What is asked is that you are able to take part in the conversation, which most people manage without difficulty.

There is no package and no minimum number of weeks. Sessions are charged as you go: £80 for an hour, £100 for 90 minutes, £120 for two hours. The 15-minute consultation beforehand is free, and stopping is always your decision rather than a negotiation.

They generally sit well together. STAR, the East Sussex drug and alcohol recovery service delivered by Change Grow Live, handles specialist and medical support, while counselling works on what sits underneath the use. Plenty of people run both at once and tell each side about the other.

For this work it holds up well. What matters is that you can speak freely and not be overheard, which sometimes is easier at home and sometimes is far easier away from it. If the house is crowded, the twenty-odd minutes along the coast buys real privacy.

Begin by describing an ordinary week out loud, which is often the first time the whole shape of it has been said to anyone. Using alone tends to remove the usual checks other people provide, so the first sessions are frequently about restoring an accurate picture.

That is often exactly why people reach out. We provide a steady, confidential relationship to work things through, whether online or in person, and I can signpost other local support where it would help.

By car it is twenty to twenty-five minutes west along the coast road through Saltdean and Brighton, with the 12 and 14 buses running the same way and a change for Hove. Start with a free fifteen-minute call on 07914 681995 or through the contact page.

Both. In East Sussex you can self-refer to Change Grow Live for free substance support 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 together.

Yes. Being a fair way out on the clifftops, many Peacehaven clients prefer secure video, which is equally confidential, though the coast drive to Hove is fine. Evening appointments are available, and blending in-person and online works well around a busy week.
