How we work
All interventions are evidence based. We support clients with achieving agreed treatemnt goals, working within the reality of the service users circumstances rather than imposing expectations on them. This means that we are working with those aiming to moderate their drinking, as well as those having abstinence as a long-term goal. We provide sessions in Harm Reduction strategies, Relapse prevention and aftercare support.
