There are a number of treatment organisations that can help. If you feel that you or anyone you know needs help, then you can contact these services in strict confidence.
The Alcohol Drug Helpline provides free and confidential support for any person concerned about their own or another person's alcohol or drug use. When you call the Alcohol Drug Helpline, you will talk to an experienced counsellor who is there to listen – they will not judge you or tell anyone you called the helpline. You can trust the helpline to provide you with friendly and confidential service when you need it. The helpline is open from 10am–10pm, seven days a week.
DrugHelp is a uniquely New Zealand website for people looking for help with their drug use and for people concerned about someone else’s use. DrugHelp shares the stories, experiences, insight and hope of people who have been there – people who have used and abused drugs and found a way through.
FebFast does not recommend this program as a suitable form of withdrawal for people who may be dependent on alcohol and or other drugs.
FebFast’s annual campaign is intended to drive public awareness and raise funds in support of New Zealand’s youth alcohol and other drug service sector.
If you have a problem with alcohol and or other drug consumption, read the information above about receiving help.

There is no fixed fee for Time Outs, so you’ll have to set your own price. This could be the cost of your night out, or how much you would spend on that nice bottle of wine. For most people FebFast is a personal challenge so we encourage you to put your hand in the honesty book more than once or twice.
