How we started

Off The Hook has been around since 1992.  The main office is located in the basement of St Johns House on St Andrews Street. 

We are here to provide support for people who have drug or alcohol problems and would like to change their lifestyles.  We support people who are clean, people who are on treatment and people who are waiting for treatment.  We do, however, insist that you have not used on any day that you use Off The Hook’s drop in services to maintain the safety of people who may be vulnerable and in treatment for their drug use.

The people who use Off The Hook come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but are bonded by the same feelings, frustrations and hopes common to most people with drug or alcohol difficulties.  Changing your life from substance misuse can be very isolating as it involves a whole lifestyle change.  The drop-in services we offer provide a safe informal place to meet with like minded people and feel safe.

If you think that we may be able to help you, feel free to give us a call or pop in.

If you have difficulty getting to us, give us a call and we may be able to visit you.
