Harm Reduction Response Team (HARRT)

Our purpose at HaRRT is to prevent people experiencing harms relating to their alcohol and or drug use. We are part of Renfrewshire Alcohol and Drug Recovery Service. Our service is provided from an unmarked van and we visit communities throughout Renfrewshire, making it easier for people to access our service. We are a small team which includes addiction nurses, and health care support workers. We aim to connect with people not in treatment and those who find it difficult to stay in treatment.

What we offer

Regardless of where you are in your recovery journey, we can support you in a number of ways including:

  • Providing confidentiality and anonymity
  • We can come to a location near you or you can attend the van at one of our scheduled areas on our timetable
