An abstinence-based recovery programme for individuals and families affected by drug and/or alcohol addiction.
Our structured day treatment programme is funded by Essex County Council. It is also available to private paying clients as well as those who have private medical insurance. The programme is for clients aged 18 or over. This is a structured day treatment programme which aims to help people understand their addiction and support them to achieve long-term, stable, abstinence-based recovery. The programme adheres to our Self Help Addiction Recovery Programme (SHARP) model which involves 48 days’ attendance at our treatment centres in Braintree and Wickford over eight weeks with an additional week for induction. This is a post-detoxification, abstinence-based programme: clients must be abstinent from alcohol and drugs prior to commencing the programme; the Essex treatment system offers pre-abstinence support for clients who need it and aftercare for those who complete treatment successfully.
