The Living Room is an award winning abstinence-based addiction recovery charity providing free daytime treatment for all addictions: drug, alcohol and behavioural. Founded in May 2000, we now provide peer support group therapy in Stevenage, St Albans and Watford to Hertfordshire residents suffering with an addiction and provide a creche in Stevenage. Our counsellors are highly-trained with lived experience of addiction themselves.
Addiction is incredibly harmful to both individuals and families. It is often passed down the generations as a result of parents modelling addictive behaviours to their children, who may also experience neglect or abuse. By supporting the whole family to recover together we break the generational cycle of addiction. Therefore, we also support family members and carers of someone with an addiction.
The Living Room supports the LGBTQ+ community. Read on for a statement from Katie Carter, our LGBTQ+ Ambassador.

In 2019, we are aiming to raise £20,000 in our general appeal. This represents the cost of successfully treating eight clients at our main counselling group.
We're delighted to announce the opening of a specialist Disordered Eating Group at our Stevenage centre, thanks to a grant from Hertfordshire Freemasons.
I'm raising money for The Living Room because I witness firsthand how the staff and volunteers make a huge difference to our clients' lives and help keep families whole.
