We pride ourselves on being innovative and forward thinking, and work closely with the recovery communities we serve to provide flexible, responsive services, which offer the best possible recovery outcomes for all our service users.
New Beginnings is a specialist in-patient detoxification unit for drug and alcohol service users combined with a structured day programme (SDP) accessible to service users undergoing detoxification.
