Drug and alcohol addiction affects millions of people around the world and if you’re suffering from an addiction it can feel like you’re alone.

Official figures show that the NHS in England is treating more than 310,000 people a year for drug or alcohol problems – the highest figure since 2009-10. Alcohol-related deaths are at an all-time high.

Hackney has been highlighted as having one of the highest alcohol dependency rates in London, and local health profiles show elevated rates of alcohol-related hospital stays.

London's inner boroughs have the highest rates of gambling harm. For example, a council in North London found that 6.2% of its residents were classified as problem gamblers—more than double the national average of 2.9%.

Aftercare may include ongoing counselling, relapse prevention planning, peer support groups, and regular check-ins with addiction specialists. Many London rehab centres also offer outpatient programmes, sober living housing, and access to community resources to help clients rebuild their lives with stability and confidence. This continued support helps ensure a smoother transition back into everyday life.
