Referral for Alcohol Counselling

There are essentially 4 referral routes for patients/clients.

Upon receipt of referral FASS will contact the patient with information about Alcohol Counselling and details of the first appointment. FASS arranges 99% of appointments within 21 days. Most within 14 days.

Telephone

The client telephones FASS on 01592 206200 following advice of Health & Social Care Worker. Alternatively, the Health & Social Care Worker may prefer to make this call.

If we are not available, a telephone answering service will operate. If you leave your name and number, we will return your call as soon as we can.

Referral Form

The client is referred to FASS using a FASS Referral Form, a Practice Referral Form or by letter. Please use this method if you need to provide background information about the referral or require liaison with FASS.
