Cwm Taf Morgannwg Barod is part of an integrated substance use service supporting adults, young people and families affected by drug or alcohol use, whether this relates to their own use or someone else’s. We also work closely with local partners to help people access the right support for their needs.

We offer confidential advice, information, assessment, harm reduction, treatment and recovery support. We can also refer or signpost people to other local services. Support is available from our fixed bases and in community venues.

We cover the whole of Cwm Taf Morgannwg, that’s Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil.

We provide:

• Advice, information and brief interventions
• Education programmes, awareness campaigns, information stands, training and workforce development
• Screening and assessment, including blood borne virus screening where appropriate
• Needle exchange, naloxone and Nyxoid provision
• 1:1 Treatment and support, including psychosocial interventions, co-occurring casework, pre and post detox support and referral for residential rehabilitation where appropriate
• Sustained recovery support, including relapse prevention, peer support, self-help, service user involvement, co-production, diversionary activities and volunteer or peer opportunities
