GAAS have been helping people overcome their drug and alcohol problems on the island for over 50 years.

The service did received a £70,000 grant from the States but now hole in their finances comes at a time when the service is experiencing one of its busiest years to date.

In a statement, the Health Improvement Commission and Public Health said they are not cutting the service and are looking at other ways to support it.
