A newly-merged alcohol and drug service for Sandwell will launch on 1 February.
The service, which is funded by Sandwell Council’s public health department, will be run by Cranstoun Sandwell.
The service will offer treatment and recovery services.
A key focus of the new service will be to prevent alcohol and drug misuse through promoting a self-help approach.
Cranstoun has merged with Swanswell to run the service – both Cranstoun and Swanswell have been supporting people in Sandwell for some time.
Peter Glass, director of operations for Cranstoun, said: “Cranstoun are very excited to continue to deliver the substance misuse services in Sandwell. We will keep developing our partnership approach and build on the already excellent relationships we have in Sandwell.”
Councillor Elaine Costigan, Sandwell Council's cabinet member for public health and protection, said: “This will make sure we continue giving excellent levels of support to help people recover from alcohol and drug dependence.
“It will also help prevent people developing habits that can affect their health and wellbeing.”
