What we do and how we do it

We provide a comprehensive approach to recovery services to ensure that individuals are supported effectively throughout their recovery journey. We run a vibrant recovery community that offers support throughout treatment and beyond.

Our service is enriched by the input of Peer Mentors who have personal experience of substance misuse and the recovery process.

Our Tonbridge base is the centre for a range of activities and support including structured workshops and social activities.

In addition, we can support service users to access other services such as housing, health and mutual aid support such as AA and NA.

Our comprehensive services include:

• Advice and information
• One to one and group support
• Assessment tools
• Brief interventions
• Recovery workshops
• Peer support
• Counselling
• Web-based advice and information
