South Ayrshire Treatment and Recovery Team (START)

													
Alcohol and drug misuse can affect your physical and mental health, your relationships, your employment as well as your ability to cope with everyday life. Your age, family support, lifestyle, personality and personal beliefs may also determine how drugs or alcohol affect you. 
Experience has shown that the service can help your recovery by giving you the support to become active in your own health care. It is about having the belief, drive and commitment to know that you can and will recover control of your life.
