Structured Support
A predictable weekly structure of key work, group engagement and house responsibilities.
Our Programme
Secondary recovery accommodation
A structured, therapeutic programme that bridges the gap between residential treatment and independent living.
What It Is
Support that continues after treatment
Secondary recovery accommodation is a substance-free home with structured support for people who have completed primary treatment. Residents keep working on recovery while gradually taking on the responsibilities of everyday life.
Support is practical and personal. Residents have a recovery plan, regular one-to-one time with a Recovery Practitioner, and the routine of a shared household with clear expectations.
The programme has a single purpose: to prepare each resident for safe, sustainable independent living.
Programme Elements
What the programme includes
Recovery Planning
A personalised plan agreed with a Recovery Practitioner and reviewed as circumstances change.
Relapse Prevention
Identifying triggers and early warning signs, and rehearsing coping strategies in real situations.
Life Skills
Budgeting, cooking, self-care, appointments, employment and education — practised day to day.
Community & Peer Support
Living alongside others in recovery, with connection to local groups and 12-step fellowships.
Emotional Resilience
Ongoing therapeutic support to build self-awareness, manage difficult feelings and rebuild confidence.
Family Involvement
Guidance for families so they can offer constructive support during and after the programme.
Independent Living
A planned move-on stage, so leaving is a step forward rather than a sudden change.
