A SERVICE to help people who live with someone who has a drug or alcohol problem has been launched.
County Durham Drug Action Team set up the Parent and Carer Support Service (Pacs), offering drop-in sessions, advice and information. It holds monthly meetings in Durham, Bishop Auckland, Chilton, Stanley and Peterlee, to help families meet others in similar situations.
David Cliff, Drug Action Team co-ordinator for County Durham, said: "We must not forget about the effect drug misuse has on families and parents.
"The support groups provide a much-needed lifeline, offering advice and support to parents and families of children and adults who are substance misusers."
