Our Services

The Living Room seeks to ensure that needs of those people accessing our services are met. We operate a policy of open-ended treatment which is person focused. The length of time needed to achieve recovery is individual. The journey and goals are agreed between the person using our service and their allocated key worker.

We have developed a range of services to support adults suffering with the illness of addiction and their family members and carers.
