Who are we?

Since 2017, Derbyshire Addictions Advice Service has worked as part of Derbyshire Recovery Partnership to deliver this training. We’ve designed this course to be easy to understand, even if you’re new to the topic or want to refresh your skills and knowledge. It will also include all the up-to-date treatment options available in Derbyshire.
