Hub enterprises – Recovery from addition is more than just abstaining form substances. Through the Hub Enterprises, The Nelson Trust offer therapeutic ways to facilitate each person recovery journey. Such as art, yoga and creative writing. They also offer rea-world volunteering opportunities, training, life skills, and education to help people get back on their feet and return to work.
Residential Rehabilitation – The Trust place equal importance on helping people to recover from addition as they do to helping them rebuild a positive, independent life in order to sustain their abstinence once they have left the care of the trust. They work along side each client to develop a personalised programme and their four recovery houses provide a stepping stone between treatment and fully independent living.
