Alcohol, Drugs and Sexual Health Support
With funding from Blackpool Council, Horizon provides a range of support for all Blackpool residents. We offer information, health screening, treatment and counselling – all confidential and free. Using our dependence to freedom model, we can help you to reduce your dependence on alcohol and drugs. Or, if you are committed to stopping drinking or using drugs, we can support you on your journey to recovery.
We offer sexual health services, confidential advice, HIV and blood-borne virus screening, STI screening, harm reduction and free condoms, all from our Drop-in centre on Dickson Road. We also support the LGBT community across Blackpool from our Dickson Road building, offering a safe and friendly place to access advice, treatment and social events.

We Are Here To Help
We offer a no barrier to treatment service, so you can contact us personally by phone on 01253 205156, or by calling into Dickson Road. You can complete our online form, or even contact us via Facebook or Twitter. So, there is no need to wait for a medical professional to refer you for treatment.
Once we have your form, we will contact you to make an appointment where one of the team can help create a care and treatment plan for you.
