Our Turning Point Scotland Services in Glasgow Alcohol & Drug Crisis Service
are looking for people like you to help provide individualised support to adults with a wide range of needs, either
on an individual 1:1 basis or alongside others and as part of a team.
Turning Point Scotland Glasgow Alcohol and Drug Crisis Service offers integrated health and social care which
provides low threshold, direct access services for people experiencing a crisis due to alcohol or other drug use
including people who may be experiencing homelessness. These include a crisis residential unit, 24-hour
Injecting Equipment Provision (needle exchange), woundcare, harm reduction advice, signposting and naloxone
training and provision.
Proudly partnering with NHSGGC and the Health and Social Care Partnership for over 27 years, we have provided
residential and direct access crisis services in a safe environment that challenges stigma and provides the
advice and information required to reduce harm and give a space to reflect and consider the next steps towards
recovery.
We are committed to helping individuals begin their journey to recovery whilst utilising harm reduction approaches,
placing safety at the forefront of care delivery. We are passionate in encouraging citizens who use the service
to improve and maintain relationships with family, friends and communities to build on their sense of belonging
in society.
