Calton Athletic is based in the East End of Glasgow and is a drug recovery group working together with the philosophy of abstinence from drugs and alcohol.

There current policy of dishing out prescription drugs to addicts is not solving the problem and drug deaths have increased since this “once size fits all” policy has been introduced. At Calton Athletic we realise this stance can seem harsh to some people. They belive that not everyone is capable of giving up drugs. We accept that. But we also believe that most drug addicts want to give up but feel that they can't. Well the successes at Calton Athletic prove they can.

Over the year the group has helped many thousand's of men and women to get clean and live happy productive lives.

As well as helping addicts the Calton Athletic has also turned it attention to the future by going into schools to tell children what drug use is really like and to deglamourise the lifestyle.
