Alcohol Use Support
We offer harm reduction alcohol use groups, support and resources to help you drink with fewer consequences, reduce your use or quit if you choose to. Heavy alcohol use is a driver for HIV infection in San Francisco – not to mention things like hangovers, blackouts and injuries. We can help you make healthier decisions.
All of our alcohol use services are based in harm reduction, which means there is no requirement to stop drinking or change your use. We will support you with the tools and resources you need to use alcohol in the ways that you choose.
