Our substance use specialist workers

Last year almost 65% of St Mungo's clients had issues with substance use.

Our Substance Use specialist workers support each individual at his or her own pace, offering realistic and accessible solutions to drink and drug problems. Our services include:

  • hostel-based needle exchanges and the Lambeth Mobile Harm Reduction Service (to contact this service call 07714 699 619, Tue-Fri, 11am-4pm)
  • auricular acupuncture
  • emergency (or hostel) accommodation
  • a move-on project for sex-working women who use crack.
  • delivering training including bespoke courses around homelessness and substance use

We also link people into a range of treatment services, including detox and rehab, methadone scripting, advice and counselling services, alternative therapies and support groups.
