Our Services

We offer various services and programmes that help in fast and effective recovery of an addict.

Supported Housing

Addictions North East has a number of properties offering comfortable and safe accommodation for those needing a place to live while in the early stages of recovery from addiction.

These places are available, to those who have successfully managed to become abstinent from alcohol and drugs, and who are wishing to embark on a fully supported programme of recovery.

We undertake an assessment to see if we are the appropriate agency offering the most appropriate accommodation for a client’s needs.

Abstinence is a strict condition of the offer of a place in one of our houses. Clients who relapse into abuse will have their contract terminated immediately.

Normally, clients are responsible for paying all fees but we will help wherever possible to look at all options for covering costs. Housing benefit can be paid in appropriate circumstances with the support of the relevant Local Authority. We have a team of staff who are available 24/7 to help our residents.

Addictions North East helps those around them too. Find out about our support for families and friends of addicts.

Family Support

The families and friends of an alcoholic or addict may have tried almost everything to stop their loved one from the unmanageability that can cause chaos in family homes and within relationships everywhere. Addictions know no boundaries and can happen within any family.

Likewise people who suffer from mild mental illness will recognise that their problems can have an impact on their friends and families. Addictions North East can offer support to the family of the people they are working with. It is critical that people close to the addict do not hinder the recovery of their loved one. The recognition that carers are powerless sometimes needs to be taken into consideration. They often need a great amount of support and coaching.

Friends and families are encouraged to attend support groups, depending on their beliefs and circumstances.
