ESRA provide a range of health and wellbeing services that are inclusive, accessible, and tailored to the needs of people in recovery.

• A safe, welcoming environment that is free from alcohol and drugs, supporting recovery while recognising the complex needs of those we help.
• Comprehensive support that addresses all aspects of life, such as finding secure accommodation, improving financial management, and accessing healthcare.
• An initial one-to-one assessment with a trained senior support worker who has lived experience, to agree on the best recovery pathway.
• Additional help to prepare for our core SMART programme – a structured, 10-week recovery course based on scientific principles to help manage addictive behaviours.
• Drop-in groups for those not yet ready to join the SMART programme, offering guidance to local activities, organisations, and further support to help build structure and purpose.
