THE county's new provider of drug and alcohol recovery treatment is to meet with service users.

Addaction, which has been awarded a £5 million contract to provide treatment in Herefordshire from December, is to attend a meeting of Herefordshire Service User Group.

Addaction will replace the substance misuse service delivered by 2gether Trust’s DASH project, which currently provides treatment and support to more than 900 people.

Service users and their friends and families will have the opportunity to speak to representatives from Addaction and ask questions or share concerns they might have

about how the change in services will affect them.

The meeting takes place on Monday September 28 from 12pm to 2pm at St Peters Church Hall. Entry can be gained through the side door.
