Alcohol Help

The Nelson Trust, Stroud
Offering people with alcohol & drug dependencies a continuum of treatment, support & resettlement.

About us:

The Nelson Trust is one of the longest established treatment centres in the UK and has always been at the forefront of innovation in the treatment of addiction field, supporting people to full recovery and independent living – a life beyond addiction.

The Nelson Trust offers a programme of medium to long-term treatment to people who have completed detox and need support, encouragement and time to help them through the early stages of recovery and towards rebuilding their lives. It’s an abstinence-based programme that typically lasts for six months.

Collaboration and personal responsibility - these are key to the success of our treatment programme. At every stage of the treatment process, participants work in partnership with others taking part in the programme; care managers, the clinical team and (where possible) family members, to create a system of care tailored specifically to individual needs. This collaborative approach helps us continually refine and adapt our care programme to address the issues that matter most to the individual. And while the person will receive ongoing support, they will be taking gradual ownership and responsibility for their own treatment, preparing the groundwork for a life of independence in the future.

The treatment programme is made up of a combination of daily group therapy sessions and one-to-one counselling that takes place once or twice a week. We also run regular special interest workshops. These are tailored around specific issues that may be important to clients, and take place whenever they feel the need to address a particular concern. The workshops cover topics such as parenting, anger management, relapse prevention or relationships.
