"It's a quiet morning in a quiet road just off Mare Street in Hackney, east London. Drop-in hours are not until the afternoon, but already people are arriving at the doors of Addaction Hackney Community Drug Service, one of Addaction's 70-plus British treatment centres - there's even one in the shadow of Manchester prison, poised to catch the newly free when the pull of old haunts becomes almost irresistible."

"In 1967, Mollie Craven, the mother of a heroin addict, wrote an article in the Guardian appealing to readers to start a self-help group for addicts and their families. Now, 40 years later, Addaction is Britain's leading drug charity."
