The Recovery programme
The Recovery programme is a community based addiction recovery programme based at the Victory Centre in Portswood. Although Christian based it is open to men and women of any faith or no belief system. Started in July 2017 with a fully qualified, experienced addiction recovery manager, clients are given the tools, support, counselling and mentoring to enable them to live addiction free, to achieve their goal, regain their place in society and to become employable. We have an excellent success rate.
The client works through the programme at his/her own pace, choosing how long to sign up for, with the minimum being 3 months. Each of the 4 stages of the programme lasts 12 weeks. On each stage of the journey the client is supported. As the programme is community based, support is also available to the client’s family and can be available once the client has completed the programme.
Objective:
- Equip people to live a new life
- Enable people with addictions to be set free from addictive lifestyles , become employable and to be restored to their families.
