Mission Statement
The ADS works in partnership to support people affected by substance misuse to
make positive change.
The Alcohol and Drug Service (The ADS) offers a confidential, professional and
modern approach to helping people with alcohol and drug problems in Hull, the
East Riding of Yorkshire, North and North East Lincolnshire. The service was
established in 1984 and is a registered charity (no: 518515).
Much of our work is innovative. Our staff are professionally trained and qualified
with a high level of motivation. They are dedicated to the aims of The ADS and
are contributing to the service’s expansion. The number of ADS projects
in the region has doubled in recent years. We are committed to working with people
in both urban and rural areas and tailor our services accordingly.
The ADS works hard to build productive relationships with local specialist agencies
and strategy makers. We recognise that there are times when we need to work in
partnership to enhance our care package.
