Addiction Therapy and Support for Individuals and Families

Our treatment centres in Stevenage and St Albans provides free, intensive, structured, abstinence-based, day treatment for adults with substance addictions: alcohol, illicit and non-illicit drugs and behavioural addictions such as: eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-harm, gambling, shopping/spending, relationships, love and sex); free crèche childcare (Stevenage based); and free therapy and support for family and friends. In addition we have a variety of outreach projects in areas of need.

Each year 60/70% of adults in receipt of treatment for their addictions achieve abstinence-based recovery.
Each year approximately 60 family members and friends regain their quality of life.
Over the last 17 years 46 children have been returned to their parents from ‘looked after’ care and many more have been removed from the Child Protection Register.
