Cocaine Anonymous

Cocaine Anonymous (CA) Scotland is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addiction. CA offers a free, confidential, peer-led recovery programme for individuals who have a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, including alcohol. Membership is open to anyone with a desire to stop using. The fellowship follows a 12-Step recovery programme based on mutual aid and shared lived experience. Regular meetings are held across Scotland, both in-person and online, providing safe, non-judgemental spaces where individuals can access support, build recovery networks, and reduce isolation. CA does not provide clinical treatment, counselling or medical services. Instead, it complements statutory and third-sector services by offering ongoing peer support before, during and after structured treatment. Through connection, accountability, and shared understanding, Cocaine Anonymous Scotland supports individuals to achieve and maintain long-term recovery, improve wellbeing, rebuild relationships, and reintegrate positively into their communities.

• All genders
• All ages

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and other mind-altering substances. CA does not provide crisis intervention, detoxification services, medical treatment, or one-to-one counselling. Individuals requiring urgent medical or mental health support should contact appropriate health services. Meetings are not suitable for individuals under 18 unless accompanied and agreed in advance in line with safeguarding guidance.

• Self-referral

No formal assessment is required. Individuals can self-refer by attending a local meeting or joining an online meeting. Professionals may provide meeting details directly to individuals or encourage them to make contact via the CA Scotland website or helpline. There is no waiting list and no cost to attend.
