Family Drug Support

Family Drug Support is a caring, non-religious organisation which provides non-judgmental, non-directive support and information to families and friends of those with a drug and/or alcohol dependence. FDS was founded by Tony Trimingham in 1997 following the loss of his son to a heroin overdose. In searching for support himself and his family, he realised there was very little. In speaking out about his concerns in the media, Tony was contacted by other families who told of similar experiences and this, combined with an overwhelming response to a public meeting, led to the formation of Family Drug Support.
FDS offers the following free services to those impacted by someones alcohol and or drug use;
24/7 Australia wide telephone support line
