How can we help?
"Recovery is about progress not perfection"
About 500 people of all ages and backgrounds come to us each year for one-to-one help, so we know a little bit about how you may be feeling at this time.
​
We are here to support and to help people living with addiction to find a safer, healthier way of living that positively impacts them and those around them.
​
We do this by listening and asking questions to find out:
-
how you are
-
what you would like to achieve
-
how and when you would like to do that
​
Then we make a plan and help our clients keep to it.
​
Approximately 85% of our clients say that they experience significant improvement in their lives, home and work relationships and mental health when their programme is complete.
