Do individuals attending your courses have to be abstinent from drugs and alcohol?

Our courses are for people who are no longer using drugs or alcohol and have a sense of stability in their recovery. 

We can and do work with people on low doses of substitute medication such as methadone, Subutex or Suboxone. 

We also recognise that the word ‘abstinence’ can mean different things to people within drug and alcohol services and the area of recovery. Our work focuses on supporting individuals to understand the root causes of their substance use, and recognises the connections between trauma, social inequality and addiction.
