Peer support is a term used to describe local people with experience of substance misuse reaching out to and helping their own community. It is recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as an effective element of drug treatment. BUBIC has been running this service since 2000. BUBIC was started by a group of black African male residents who had successfully completed treatment for crack cocaine but recognised a need for an adjunct service run by those who had themselves been through treatment. They also had a strong desire to give back to Haringey for the help they had received.
