About Us

RODA started in 1994 when a group of Mums found that there was no support available for them, and so they got together and started supporting each other.
It is with great saddness that after many years of working with hundreds of families RODA will be unable to take any more referrals or phone calls. On the 31st January 2012 RODA will be closing down as a charity due to lack of funding opportunities
 
If you are affected by someone else’s substance misuse and would like help or advice, you can contact Sheffield DAAT on 0114 2736851 or the new providers lead contact working out of the Carer's Centre on 0114 2521914

Why we started

RODA existed to meet the needs of families and friends whose
lives are affected by a loved one’s substance misuse.
We acknowledged the fear and distress experienced by extended
family members and friends and offered practical and emotional support.

Putting It Into Words

What our families say

I felt scared, confused, ashamed, angry and depressed until I contacted RODA. It takes a while, but eventually I felt more in control and relieved, and realised that it was not my fault when he failed. I felt more peaceful and secure because of the knowledge that I gained through RODA." 

"I was absolutely at my wits end. My daughter was using drugs and I didn’t know who to turn to. My GP referred me to RODA. I went and now I have more knowledge and understanding of drugs. After getting support I have been able to cope better. I realise that I can’t fix it. It’s like a learning curve, they are on a journey and so are we."
