Alcohol & Wellbeing
Designed to help you understand more about your drinking and how to cut down or stop. We offer two programmes depending on your drinking levels and can support access to inpatient or community detox if you need clinical support to help you reduce your drinking.
Next Steps Aftercare
Working with local recovery social enterprise Dear Albert we will support you to make lasting changes to your drug and alcohol use which continue long after treatment has finished. Dear Albert run a programme of recovery support in the City at their dedicated Community Rehab ‘The Stairway Project’ and across the county.
Young People's Service
Our dedicated Young People’s team works with all under 18s and those aged up to 25 where required. Delivering services wherever suits you, our young people’s team can help you find out the facts about drugs and alcohol and make changes where you want to. We also support young people affected by someone else’s substance use.
Opiate Substitute Prescribing
For those dependent on opiate drugs such as heroin we offer prescribing of methadone or buprenorphine. Clinical interventions sit alongside a programme of talking therapies and recovery support to help you make lasting changes.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is about learning to live in the present, rather than in the past or an imagined future. Being mindful can increase awareness of your emotions and can support you to manage cravings, which makes slips and lapses less likely.
Family & Friends Support
We know caring for someone with drug or alcohol issues can take its toll. That’s why our dedicated Family Recovery Worker offers support to family and friends in their own right. The individual with a drug or alcohol problem doesn’t need to be in treatment for you to be eligible for your own support.
Reclaim
Reclaim is designed to support people who are using drugs and are considering making changes in their use. It can help you develop skills and commitment to making positive changes to your drug use.
Last Orders Project
Working with our partners Age UK Leicester Shire and Rutland, the Last Orders Project helps those over 50 to learn more about their drinking and how it affects their life and make positive changes.
Our specialist team, Individual Placement Support (IPS), are here to help you find employment in any and all fields. With long standing expertise in supporting people within drug and alcohol treatment services, IPS can help you with job searches, CV writing, interview preparation, qualifications, training, benefits advice and more.
Needle Syringe Programme
We provide free injecting equipment along with practical and realistic support to help individuals make safer choices to reduce any negative impact.
