Ipswich's drug and alcohol treatment services are commissioned by Suffolk County Council and delivered through We Are With You Suffolk. The town serves as the main treatment hub for East Suffolk. Private residential rehab is accessible at centres across East Anglia. Ipswich has areas of significant urban deprivation where rates of problematic drug and alcohol use are above the Suffolk average, and the treatment system reflects this with assertive outreach work in Whitehouse and Whitton.
