Our Abstinent Houses focus on working with people who need support to maintain their abstinence while gaining the skills and confidence required to obtain and sustain independent accommodation. As well as people currently abstinent we accept referrals from people that are on stable scripts, who are willing to reduce over an agreed period of time to work towards abstinence.
We work in partnership with treatment providers and statutory services to support people to create support plans. We work with the people that use our services to develop their strengths while identifying areas of their lives they would like to improve, providing practical support and guidance.
We strive to create positive communities within our housing services. People who live in our houses are supported by the community, they take part in activities, plan events and play an active role in the day-to-day running of the household including participating in weekly house meetings.
Our skilled and dedicated team work with people who have the desire to change their pattern of behaviour and substance use.
We do this by supporting people to address lifestyle, health, social and criminal justice issues, empowering them to make and sustain positive change and reintegrate into the wider community.
