The main office is located at Mid Argyll Community Hospital and Integrated Care Centre.

The Argyll and Bute Drug and Alcohol Recovery Service (DARS) is an integrated team comprising staff from NHS Highland and Argyll and Bute Council. Staff include social workers, nurses and a psychiatrist, all of whom are specialists in addiction work.

DARS provides services across Argyll and Bute from bases in each locality. Services include:

  • assessment
  • recovery planning
  • harm reduction
  • sexual health information
  • blood borne virus information and testing
  • opioid replacement therapy
  • naloxone training and supply

Referral is via another professional, for example a GP or social worker.
