Get help for someone else

Your first visit

When you arrive there will be a friendly member of staff to greet you. If you're waiting for a group or appointment, you'll wait in our reception. There are places to sit and leaflets to read. If you'd like, you can bring a loved one for support.

 

Our welcome group

Our opiate and alcohol welcome groups are where you begin your journey. You'll learn what to expect from us, and you can ask us any questions you have.

The welcome groups are for people who are newly assessed and ready to start treatment. It'll be a small group. We know it can feel daunting, so if you'd like to bring a loved one with you, please do.

Employment support (IPS)

If employment is part of your recovery, we can help. We believe everyone is capable of doing some work if they want to, and we will support you with this.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based service that matches people with work that they want to do.

Our support is available if you are aged 18-65 and in treatment at Change Grow Live.

To find out more, speak to your Recovery Co-ordinator. You can also email [email protected] or call 0121 227 5890 to refer yourself or for more information.

Visit our Individual Placement and Support (IPS) page to find out more about our employment support services.
