Drinking and drugs

Drugs and alcohol affect the way we think and feel and are often used to help us cope with difficulties in life. However, sometimes the way we use alcohol and drugs can impact our wellbeing. 

Changing the way you use drug and alcohol can take time, but with commitment and support you will notice positive changes in your mental and physical wellbeing.

Connecting with information online can help you understand how to change the way you use alcohol and drugs. Visit Beyond Blue to learn more.
