How We Help
Watch video

The Recovery Hub

Your journey may start at The Recovery Hub where we will offer you a confidential space to listen to how we can help you make your life better, with opportunities to discuss keeping yourself safe, social activities, prescribing some specialist medications and much more. You will get to chat with a Recovery Worker on the day you drop-in and there is no need to be referred by your GP. The first step couldn’t be simpler. At The Recovery Hub we believe that one size does not fit all and our highly trained staff will support you to build your own personal recovery plan where we can create interventions individual to your own needs. See our opening times.

Supporting you to make changes

Throughout your journey you will be offered a variety of opportunities to improve your health, wellbeing, social interaction and self-esteem. Sessions to improve health and well-being, everything from thinking skills to acupuncture, counselling and from therapy sessions to meditation. Where appropriate, we can offer support for your family or carer alongside your own.

Education, Training, Employment, Volunteering and Activities

When you feel it is the right time, we will support you to find activities that you enjoy through our Re-Fit sports and activity recovery programme and help you to prepare and find training, volunteering and employment opportunities. If you enjoy football, badminton, gym sessions and walking, I’m sure we will have something just for you. Depending on the season we also offer canoeing, mountain biking, chess clubs and the list goes on and on.

‘I was very apprehensive when I first came to the Community Day Rehab. My earliest memory was when I introduced myself by saying that I was there to “be fixed”. It was with that comment I knew I was somewhere special because the immediate response was don’t think you’re here because “you’re broken, or need fixing. That comment stuck with me, because I did think I was broken and to be frank, I didn’t think I was worth fixing.”

“The day I entered Community Day Rehab I knew it would change my life, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and completely non-judgemental. They delivered the programme in a way that made sense, I not only ended my addiction but gained insight and self-compassion into myself and feel I am now able to live the life I want and deserve. I found the counselling sessions at Community Day Rehab with Steph were life changing, to be listened to and understood helped me immensely, I used to walk out feeling amazing. It was great to be able to open up and not feel judged, amazing counsellor!”

“SSJ and CDR was a safe place, somewhere to be honest for the first time about my drinking and how to realistically start trying to live an alcohol-free life by making commitments to yourself and taking one step at a time.”

“I started to get involved in the summer of 2018 when I was encouraged to go along to lawn bowls one afternoon a week. At first, I was unsure, I had no experience and didn’t feel comfortable with meeting new people. However, I was shown understanding and support from Paul and the volunteers and discovered that I enjoyed bowls and was able to mix socially. It was an activity that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to take part in or even considered if it wasn’t for Re-Fit. I have tried many other sports activities since then including pitch and putt, gym sessions and badminton. The lawn bowls is still a favourite for me.”

"I tried other services...It didn’t work. I came here and I spoke to one of the Recovery Workers on duty. I’ve been coming here once a week which now has changed to fortnightly. I reduced my alcohol content. I received good advice about triggers, understanding my position.... Listening to other people’s experiences and treatment plans was great. I felt seen."

"It gave me a lot of positives. I still drink but nothing like I used to. Before I came here, I couldn’t sleep. I feel like I am in control. Before my substance use was in control of me."

"Before I came to the Hub, I was nervous. I was afraid. The reception staff were lovely. The Recovery Worker on the day told me that I shouldn’t beat myself up and I need to let go. I felt a lot more confident straight away. I came here to talk about alcohol but it changed my life."

"Staff were supportive, non-judgmental. Nobody told me how to think/be. I was allowed to process the feelings on my own. I was asked: How are you feeling? What do you want to do? How can we help?"
