Abstinence & Treatment based supported housing project 
Our accommodation is specifically for those who want to use mutual aid to achieve and maintain abstinence-based recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol. 
 
Our staff deliver support and housing management. We do not provide treatment or personal care. 
 
Our residents are responsible for working their own programme of recovery using the local mutual aid fellowship meetings. 
 
Our project is principally a safe and supported community of like-minded individuals who have made a conscience decision to engage in a mutual aid community within the house. 
 
Tenure is by licence agreement and is initially for 6 months. This can be extended in appropriate circumstances, but the accommodation is always “temporary”.
