WHAT IS CITA?

CITA was founded in 1987 by Pam Armstrong and Peter Ritson, as a national helpline, support and information service for people who had become involuntarily addicted to their prescribed tranquillisers. This service was also used extensively by relatives and friends of patients and by professionals involved in managing addiction to mind altering drugs. Subsequently CITA developed a general stress and anxiety management service, which is now used by clients and professionals alike.
