Participate in Adfam Survey: Caring as a Result of Somebody Else's Substance Use

The purpose of this survey is to paint a better picture of what it is like to support someone with drug or alcohol problems. A clearer understanding of the issue will help the charity and social sector to effectively support you.  

You will be asked questions about how a loved one’s drug or alcohol problems have affected your life, what support you have found useful, and what support you would like to see made available.

We understand that relationships can blur when drug and alcohol is involved; you may provide day to day practical support to someone who misuses drugs or alcohol, or you may help care for their children. You may live with someone with substance use problems, or you may have very little contact with them. In any case, if you consider yourself to look after or contribute to looking after a loved one as a result of someone else's substance use, we want to know more about your experience, and we want to know how to help.

This survey will close on Friday 10 May.
