Links to Drugs Help
What is This Page?
The Poison Garden website aims to stimulate discussion about the issues surrounding substance abuse but is not the place for individuals to try and find help dealing with their own substance abuse issues, or those of a loved one. The first section gives links to sites dealing with substance use in general. Further down the page are links to sites intended to offer help to individuals. Their inclusion does not mean this site believes the advice they give is always accurate or helpful.
