Alcohol Help

Bosence Farm Community, Hayle
Temporary supported housing for individuals in active recovery from alcohol / drug dependency.

About us:

The emphasis is on learning to live life without resorting to chemical / alcohol use and on living as a community with residents sharing meals, domestic tasks and time together, with support provided by staff. The aim is for residents to achieve on-going recovery and gain the life and social skills to live independently.

The length of stay (maximum 1 year) at Bosence is dependent on the needs of the individual.
