Who are we?
We offer specialist supported housing for people who are recovering from substance abuse. We support access to a recovery community to give you the best chance at long-term recovery. A thorough assessment of your needs will take place and care plans will be built around developing and improving your outcomes.
Our Approach
We understand that addiction can be devastating to the individual, families, and society. Addiction can often be an isolating experience and recovery is not always straight forward. We work with an ethos of connection, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.
We believe in empowering people to develop their own self-awareness and self-care to gain greater control over their decisions and lives. We work collaboratively and in partnership with you and other agencies to improve your future. We believe there is not a one size fits all solution to addiction so aim to deliver bespoke packages of care.ent Goes Here
Overview
You will have a key worker assigned who will support you emotionally and practically through this process. Through direct work and key work sessions, we can address finances, social inclusion, education, employment, relationship work, managing emotions, boundaries, appropriate behaviour, and relapse prevention. We have an in-house roster of activities and will support you accessing other therapeutic activities with our local trusted providers. We offer a voluntary counselling service for more in-depth therapeutic support.
Our homes are a safe space for people in recovery. By creating opportunities in a supportive environment, you can learn to live life without resorting to substances as a means to cope.
Our work is underpinned by evidence-based practice and delivered to you by trained professionals. We work in a very person-centred; solution-focused whole systems approach.
Social Impact Policy
Recovery First Housing CIC is registered as a Community Interest Company and as a consequence of our daily activities, our ethos is completely underpinned by the desire to re-invest, in some form, back into the community which we serve.
Within the fabric of this policy, on a yearly basis, all directors will implement effective strategies, mainly by the activation of financial donations to closely linked charities of which they assess will directly have a beneficial, positive social return for all the communities we operate within.
It’s been an incredible experience for me here. From day one, when I was a fearful, timid man, to now, where I have been learning how to alter my life, I have come a long way. I’ve grown as a person as a result of my work with Recovery First Housing. I’m confident in myself and I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.
Without a doubt, the most crucial two years of my life has been so much easier with the help of Recovery First Housing CIC. The practitioners and support staff have all been outstanding. I had no idea empathy and understanding could be at such a high level, especially from strangers. They’ve gone from being my guides, to my friends.
I went in with no idea what to anticipate, no idea who I’d be with, and no idea where I’d be heading. What I discovered was a network of people who shared the same condition as me – addiction. We learned together, became friends together, and discovered ourselves during our time together, all the while being helped by Recovery First Housing CIC and their programme.
Contacting Recovery First Housing CIC may have saved both my life and my marriage. I’ll be eternally grateful for the tools and knowledge they’ve given me to help me get on top of my addictions.
