Residential treatment
Our residential programmes provide an intensive treatment during which you live in a safe environment with other individuals recovering from addiction problems. During your stay we arm you with the skills you need to keep off drugs or alcohol when you leave.
Internationally renowned Clouds House is based in idyllic Wiltshire countryside, Thurston House, a treatment centre specifically for men is based in London and Hope House a treatment centre for women only is based in London.
Structured day treatment
You do not need to enter a residential programme to access treatment.
Our Self Help Addiction Recovery Programmes (SHARP) offer structured day treatment programmes for men and women. This enables you to continue staying in your home whilst accessing treatment on your allocated days.
After care
We provide ongoing aftercare for individuals who complete our treatment programmes.
In particular we offer a work training skills programme called Working Recovery.
