There are many types of drugs and alcohol organisations. Some of them are:

Community Projects: community projects offer a range of services to people who have drink or dug problems. These could involve counselling, structured day care programmes, prescribing, and alternative therapies and so on. They cover most of the UK  and are funded by local Drugs (and Alcohol) Action Teams.  Staff employed by them include nurses, social workers and project workers.

Drugs Intervention Programmes are criminal justice organisations that work with people who have been arrested and are in the community.  They provide a range of support services to help people get into treatment.

Rehabs: residential rehabilitation is for people who had the most severe problems and is normally funded by the local authority. It helps people work out how to live without drug and alcohol problems.

CARATS teams are multidisciplinary organisations providing a range of services to people who are in prison.
