About ADS

For over 30 years, we have delivered effective interventions across towns and cities, helping thousands on the road to recovery in Humberside, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire. We support the national strategy at a local level.

The Alcohol & Drug Service is a registered charity (Charity No. 1108595) and a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 05375809). Our funding primarily comes from contracts with statutory bodies like Local Authorities and the NHS, supplemented by charitable grants and fundraising efforts. We are governed by a Board of Trustees and are part of the Investors in People scheme, currently holding the Silver award.

While we have been transforming lives for over 30 years, many may not be familiar with us due to our partnership approach, often delivering services under different project names.

Our Values

We believe honesty underpins our work and strive to improve our services through self-reflection. Trust is fundamental to our partnerships, whether with service users, employees, or service purchasers.
