About the Service

At Bestway Community Development, we understand that drug and alcohol misuse can have a serious impact on individuals, families, and the wider community.

Our Drugs and Alcohol Support Service provides free, confidential, and culturally sensitive help to New Scots and residents across North Lanarkshire who are struggling with substance use or who are supporting a loved one affected by it.

We believe recovery is possible when people are listened to, respected, and supported without judgement.
