Alcohol Brief Interventions

If you feel that your alcohol use is becoming problematic or you are concerned about safe levels of alcohol use, our specialist worker Alan Stewart is here to help. The support offered could range from some very brief advice around safer drinking levels to two or three sessions working with you to help make changes to your alcohol use.

In offering this support BADAS intends to:

Work to increase an individuals motivation and encourage change.
Offer advice, information on the benefits of safer drinking levels.
Help identify high risk situations when drinking and explore appropriate coping strategies.
Work out plans to help, reduce or control or eliminate alcohol use.

BADAS also offer training to professionals from other services that may come into contact with harmful or problematic drinkers. This training helps identify individuals who may be drinking problematically and gives them the skills to offer advice and information.
