People suffering from drug and/or alcohol addiction
The project aims to enhance people in purposeful recovery by securing and supporting their alcohol/drug free life by developing personally rewarding structured training, counselling and self-help, which will provide real benefit to them, their families and the community.
All staff are highly trained and have acknowledged expertise in their fields. They are selected not only for their qualifications and training, but also for their personal attributes and highly relevant experience. We demand their total commitment to the service user’s reintegration back into society.
We also have full Care Commission registration.

Alex Rae, former professional footballer, has for years considered the possibility of an abstinence based program in the West of Scotland and in 2006 started to make plans to bring his plans to fruition. He approached Keira MacDougall of KJM Events Ltd and together they embarked on a challenging fundraising campaign to raise the funds to get the Project opened.
The Project opened on 6th May 2007 - results so far have been far better than even we expected.
The project was set up in Glasgow to support service users affected by drug and alcohol dependency by providing them with a range of treatment options delivered through structured day treatment that integrates a 12-Step approach with clinical and psycho-social interventions within a care package based on individual need. Community abstinence based day programme for rehabilitation of Alcoholics and Drug Users - offering an otherwise unavailable treatment option. It is a 1 year/3 phased program based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous -low threshold de-tox, comprehensive need assessments, individualised care-planning, group counselling,one to one therapy, lectures, holistic therapies and living skills training
We are very proud to say that we have now graduated almost 400 individuals. We work together to create the best possible environment to aid recovery.
It is our intention to continue to improve and strengthen our service to provide you with the best possible chance. A second chance.
