02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Under the management of Recovery Scotland North Lanarkshire and Forth Valley Recovery Communities host daily events and regular activities that support people in various stages of recovery from unhelpful addictive behaviours. Attendance is voluntary and the community is open to anyone who is seeking recovery, in recovery, has a family member affected by addiction or is a champion of our cause. The Recovery communities have been developed to complement treatment and support services and encourage involvement with any type of mutual aid. They are not an alternative for other interventions but run alongside these services to enhance and support the recovery journey. We also work along side psychological and justice services to provide specialist LE support and have an outreach team in FV to engage with those people who are hardest to reach.
