Recovery communities

There are several charities and organisations in Derbyshire offering support for people who are in recovery from substance misuse and want to get involved in recovery based community activities to support their recovery.

This includes recovery communities. These are grass roots, community based support programmes for people with drugs and alcohol related issues.

Residential treatment

For people with severe alcohol and substance misuse problems who need extra help in tackling addictions we have 2 different residential treatment options.

In patient detox

This is a period in hospital or other residential setting where people take part in a medically managed programme enabling them to come off drugs or alcohol. This usually lasts between one and 2 weeks.

Residential rehabilitation

This often follows on from an inpatient detox programme and involves a 3 to 6-month stay.

These are referral-only services accessed through community treatment services. Contact the Derbyshire Recovery Partnership for more details on how to access residential treatment services, telephone: 0845 308 4010 or 01246 206514.
