Crew 2000 – Edinburgh
About Crew 2000 – Edinburgh
Crew 2000, trading as Crew, is a Scottish charity founded in 1992 that provides drug and sexual health harm reduction services from a drop-in centre on Cockburn Street in Edinburgh.
Crew describes its approach as neither condemning nor condoning drug use, aiming instead to reduce harm and support informed decision-making, with a particular focus on cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamine use. Alongside its drop-in service, counselling and drug checking, it carries out outreach at nightlife venues and festivals, offers rapid HIV and syphilis testing, and provides expert witness services to Scottish courts.

Crew 2000 Detox and Rehab Services
Crew 2000, known as Crew, is an Edinburgh charity operating a drop-in centre on Cockburn Street, focused on harm reduction for people who use stimulant and recreational drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines. It’s an outpatient service offering drug checking, harm-reduction information and advice, nightlife outreach at venues and festivals, and rapid blood-borne virus testing, rather than a residential or detox programme.
Recorded support includes free and confidential one-to-one counselling and training on drug-related issues. Because Crew’s focus is on harm reduction and information rather than a structured clinical programme, it’s worth asking directly what ongoing support looks like for your particular situation.

How Much Does Treatment at Crew 2000 Cost?
Crew’s drop-in, counselling and harm-reduction services aren’t run as a priced clinical programme, so a direct like-for-like figure isn’t available. For general context, private outpatient addiction support in the Edinburgh area typically runs from around £1,200 to £4,000 a month, though this reflects the wider market rather than any charge made by Crew.
Since Crew’s own services don’t appear to carry a direct fee, contact the drop-in centre to ask what a first visit involves, whether counselling needs to be booked in advance, and how confidential the drug-checking service is.

Crew 2000 Reviews
If you’ve visited the Cockburn Street drop-in, taken part in counselling, or encountered Crew’s outreach work at an event, sharing a review helps others understand what the service offers.
Crew 2000 has operated in Edinburgh since 1992 and works alongside Scottish courts and public health partners, though specific accreditation details aren’t published here. A useful question to ask directly is how confidential the drug-checking and testing services are, and what happens after a first drop-in visit.
Fantastic place doing incredible work! The staff are always welcoming and informative. I'll always recommend to anyone looking for advice, information or just a look around!
