Treatment services

The Living Room seeks to ensure that the complete needs of those people accessing our services are met.  We operate a policy of open-ended treatment availability, the length of time needed to recover is individual and is agreed between the client and their key worker.

To this end we endeavour to work with a wide range of local services to ensure that those gaining recovery from addiction have all the appropriate support that they need in order to sustain a life free of drugs, alcohol and addictive behaviours.

The Living Room provides a variety of services and are keen to work closely with other organsations to provide all round support for each person.
