Addiction Recovery

Smiling people walking

Our Recovery Services are committed to bringing hope, freedom and wholeness to all people adversely affected by alcohol, other drugs and gambling.

They provide a safe, high-quality and evidence-based environment that enables people to pursue holistic transformation for themselves and to improve the outcomes for their families and communities. Our vision is to see transformed people inspiring transformation!

Our Philosophy

The Salvation Army Recovery Services believe that:

  • Every person matters and will be treated with dignity and respect
  • People have the right to make informed choices, experience personal growth, access greater freedom, and have an opportunity for a transformed outlook in life
  • Freedom from all addictive substances and behaviours is the key to the ongoing development of a positive life
  • A holistic approach to recovery involves healthy partnerships and relationships.
  • The recovery journey is personal and each person must travel at their own pace
  • The role of Recovery Services is to support the person’s own journey toward transformation
