Drug abuse can be harmful to your health. This is an NHS (England) resource.

Where to get help for drugs: A GP may be a good place to start. They can discuss your problems with you and help get you into treatment. They will usually refer you to your local drug service. If you're not comfortable talking to a GP, you can approach your local drug treatment service yourself.
