REACH in partnership with South East Addiction Team is delivering and developing a substance misuse service.

The clinic is open to both BME men and women over 18 years and over although the age is still under discussion.

Time of Clinic:
This service is delivered according to the needs of the client group which involves evening work but regular timings are weekdays starting from 9am till 5pm and Thursdays till 8pm.

Free workshop on substance misuse:
This programme is important for any organization, its staff and service users who are working for / with BME communities (young people and adults) to increase their awareness on free support services and treatment available for them to help them to quit smoking, drugs and alcohol. This awareness programme will benefit asylum seekers, refugees, and people from minority ethnic communities who earlier wanted to quit this habit but were not able to quit because of cost attached to the treatment.

Culturally Sensitive Services

In response to the major health inequalities faced by BME communities living in Glasgow, REACH provides a broad based, integrated health service programme. In partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Primary Care Division, we have developed a Community Health Clinic that offers preventative health promotion information and comprehensive clinical advice to individuals from the BME community.
