ESRA fills a gap in provision as it is the only service in Hastings and Rother that offers comprehensive aftercare and support for long-term recovery from addiction.
All clients receive a person-centred one-to-one assessment to determine their best pathway for recovery and are support by a dedicated member of staff who also has lived experience of recovery. This fosters trust and ensures that services meet individual needs.
ESRA does not address addiction in isolation. It provides a holistic programme of support which empowers individuals to live independently, build up their skills and sort out issues in their daily lives.
ESRA delivers a structured, but flexible programme of support which responds to individual circumstances and does not have a specified cut-off point.
There is no significant waiting period to access ESRA’s services or criteria about how serious an addiction has to be before someone can get help. This enables people to receive support as soon as they have made the decision to quit.
Those in recovery benefit from peer support while knowing they are in a safe environment where they will not be mixing with people who are still under the influence/using.
