Where to get help - Barod

Barod is the Welsh word for ‘Ready’

Their aim is to support anyone who is ready to change and to make a difference to their own lives or the lives of others.

This means providing high-quality, free and confidential support and guidance to anyone who is affected by drug or alcohol use, either their own or someone else’s; and raising awareness about the ways Barod can all help to reduce the harm caused by substance use.

At Barod, their friendly, trained workers operate across most of South and West Wales, providing support to individuals affected by alcohol and drugs, and their friends and family. The support and information they provide is free, confidential and non-judgmental.

Barod specialises in substance use support for both adults and young people.
