Stockton Recovery Service

Who we are

Stockton Recovery Service is a support service for individuals over 18 years old who are affected by drug and alcohol use. We are part of an integrated recovery service where we work closely with the pharmacological providers to offer individuals a holistic package of support, to ensure recovery is a realistic and attractive offer to everyone. We also offer a dedicated Family Service to support families affected by parental substance misuse, working with parents, carers and children in a family centred way. 

What we do

Individuals are supported in their recovery from point of entry through to aftercare via effective care coordination. Our team is made up of recovery workers, peer mentors and recovery champions. A lot of our staff team include people who are in their own recovery, we believe this is crucial as they bring added value and inspiration to those individuals accessing the service. Upon entry to the service you can speak to a Recovery Worker and/or a Peer Mentor to discuss your needs and aspirations. We will then offer you tailored support dependant on your individual circumstances.
