A Commissioned Service

Drug, alcohol, nicotine (vaping) and gambling addiction services in Solihull are commissioned by Solihull Council and delivered by SIAS (Solihull Integrated Addiction Services).

Service delivery includes awareness raising, harm reduction, treatment and recovery strands for adults and young people.

SIAS’ approach has been developed in line with national and local drug, alcohol and gambling strategies and is underpinned by health and wellbeing research, best practice and years of practical experience.  

We are here to help you no matter how difficult your life has become. Talk to us as soon as you can.
