DAN 24/7

Dan 24/7 is a free and confidential helpline. Calls from public telephone boxes are free of charge: calls from a mobile phone may incur a charge from your network.

Dan 24/7 telephone number will NOT appear on your home itemised bill.

Getting help is the first step

Talking to somebody about your problem is the first step to resolving your problems. You can call DAN 24/7 on 0800 6 33 55 88 anytime day or night and we will give you help and advice.

If you'd rather look for an agency online then you can search through our online database of helping agencies where you can find National and Local agencies that will be able to help you.

Remember, anything you tell DAN 24/7 or any agency you contact is confidential and you won't even need to give your real name.

Find out about drugs

We have compiled an A to Z of Drugs to help you understand more about drugs.

We've included information about the risks to your health and information about the legal penalties for possessing and supplying drugs.

There is also information about what various drugs look like as well as the paraphernalia used in their preparation.
