Your first visit

A friendly peer mentor will greet you at reception, they will ask how they can help you and invite you to take a seat. In the meantime, you can help yourself to tea or coffee in the recovery kitchen. If you have come for an assessment, you will be assessed by a worker who will explore all treatment options with you and introduce all our services.

Assessment

The assessment process can take up to an hour, so please allow time for this. A Recovery Worker will go through an assessment with you to discuss your needs and work with you to set goals and create a treatment plan that suits you. 

Our welcome group

Our welcome group takes place every Tuesday at 12pm. You'll be introduced to the service by peer mentors. You'll also get a welcome pack with information about the service.

Naloxone – the overdose reversal drug

Naloxone is a lifesaving medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. 

We can give you a free naloxone kit and teach you how to use it
