About this service
Release is the national centre of expertise on drugs and drugs law. The organisation, founded in 1967, is an independent and registered charity. Release provides legal advice and support on a variety of topics at several drug and alcohol treatment centres across the country.
Through their services, Release provides free non-judgmental, specialist advice and information to the public and professionals on issues related to drug use and to drug laws. Release also offers:
A national helpline to answer any legal or drug-related questions – open from 11am—1pm & 2pm—4pm Monday to Friday, and specific to law in England and Wales.
A Harm Reduction Hub – based out of the Release offices in East London, this community space offers support, advice and resources for the community, including people who use drugs and/or other marginalised groups like homeless people and sex workers.
The organisation campaigns directly on issues that impact on our clients - it is their experiences that drive the policy work that Release does. Release advocates for evidence-based drug policies that are founded on principles of public health rather than a criminal justice approach.
