What is the RISE programme? | Recovery Near You | Substance misuse

Discover RISE, an eight-week day programme supporting people to develop their recovery while continuing to live in the community.

In this video, James, a member of the Recovery Near You team explains how RISE combines the structure and group connection of residential rehabilitation with the opportunity to continue living at home and managing the challenges of everyday life.

Running Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 2:30pm, the programme explores themes including addiction, denial, guilt and shame, responsibility and accountability, relationships and boundaries, aftercare, gratitude and self-compassion.

Participants also take part in SMART Recovery groups, mindfulness, art, games and activities, community engagement and recovery-focused sessions led by staff, volunteers and people with lived experience. The programme concludes with a graduation celebration for those who complete the eight weeks.

RISE is designed for people working towards abstinence and requires commitment, openness, resilience and self-reflection throughout the programme.
