Forward Trust Thurrock supports adults aged 30 and over who are experiencing difficulties with alcohol or drug use and would like help to make positive changes. Support is also available for family members, carers, and loved ones affected by someone else's substance use.

Our compassionate and caring staff provide non-judgemental, person-centred support tailored to individual needs. We also have a dedicated clinical team who can provide specialist clinical interventions, including assessments, prescribing, and treatment to support recovery where appropriate.

We work in partnership with Open Road, who provide services for children and young people under 18, as well as a transitional service for young adults aged 18-29, ensuring support is available for people of all ages across Thurrock.

Forward Trust Thurrock provides person-centred, flexible support tailored to each individual's needs. Following an initial assessment, a personalised recovery plan is developed to help people achieve their goals. Support is delivered through:

• One-to-one keywork sessions
• Group programmes and recovery activities
• Clinical interventions, including prescribing and medication-assisted treatment
• Health checks and blood-borne virus testing
• Naloxone supply and overdose prevention advice
• Harm reduction and needle exchange services
• Peer mentoring and lived experience support
• Family and carer support
• Telephone, in-person, and digital support options

Our compassionate and caring team provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where people can access the support they need to make lasting positive changes.
