Live Well South Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services
Live Well South provides substance misuse treatment for adults living in south Middlesbrough, run as part of the wider Live Well network the council operates across the town rather than as a standalone residential service.
The June 2025 inspection’s Outstanding Caring finding suggests the Hemlington team’s approach to supporting people is a particular strength; for the current detail on groups and appointments, the council team is the best point of contact.
