Recovering from addiction can be a long and lonely journey – whether one is addicted to substances like alcohol or drugs, or behaviours like gambling, pornography, or even gaming. This chronic and relapsing mental health disorder can feel like an insurmountable mountain to tackle – which is why WE CARE works to provide those undergoing their rehab journey with not only interventions in the form of counselling and therapy, but also seeks to provide a safe and supportive haven for all to drop-in and work on their recovery journey.
Walk through the reception of WE CARE and meet Recovery Guides who draw on their personal experiences to connect with and journey alongside individuals in the process of recovery, before taking a look at the therapy rooms where trained counsellors sit down with individuals to identify issues that contribute to their addictions and develop strategies to manage these problems.
Participants can also look forward to a visit to WE CARE’s Drop-In Centre: a safe, non-judgemental space where those who are recovering can visit to distance themselves from triggers at home or other environments, and actively work on their recovery through workshops and training sessions with the aim of re-entering the workforce and building a better relationship with their families at home. You’ll also sit down and speak with someone who is going through their addiction recovery journey, and hear how their lives have changed since setting off on their recovery journey with WE CARE.
