who we are
Manchester Community Alcohol Team (CAT) is citywide service established in 1997 and was designed to be community based combining population strategies for prevention with individual interventions for people with identified alcohol misuse problems. The service was set-up to deliver interventions for harmful and dependent drinkers from primary care settings (GP Practice) and to offer training and support for other members of the primary care team. There has never been a greater time then now to enable others to identify people whose drinking is associated with increased risk, deliver brief interventions and refer to specialist services where necessary.
