Who else is affected
At Recovery First Housing CIC we support you accessing the opportunities that addiction took from you. We work with you and your family to re-build broken relationships and heal from the scars left from active addiction. Addiction not only impacts you but impacts everyone around you. That’s why at Recovery First Housing we take a whole system approach to your recovery outcomes and support you making amends to those around you. The amends to yourself can often be the most challenging but with our support it won’t be impossible.
It’s common for loved ones of addicts to become frustrated because society believed for many years addiction was a moral issue.
Alongside what is happening to a persons body and mind on a chemical level, a societal one also exists. People with addiction will often act in ways that contribute to social rejection. They will alienate friends and family and isolate themselves.
As the addiction intensifies the need to feed the addiction becomes more dangerous. Finding ways and means to get more can often lead to anti-social behaviour, crime, inappropriate sexual behaviour and so on. Opportunities for change start to diminish, all of which make the substance harder to resist.

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.
