Welcome to our website

Our philosophy of care is that every individual should have the opportunity to change their lives for the better and move away from dependence on any substances used as coping strategies and seen as injurious to health, well-being and social functioning..


The aim is for every client to experience a positive caring engagement where the service is an important part of recovery and progression.


The project’s vision, mission and values are based on four practical principles of operation, to: promote recovery, foster independence, reduce dependence on substances and improve lives.

It found that prominent warnings on alcohol packaging could help to capture attention, increase awareness of alcohol-related harms, and may support a reduction in consumption and alcohol-related harms.
