A new partnership between two of the country’s main
residential rehab charities has paved the way for
growth in the provision of housing for people in rehab
treatment and recovery from addiction.
‘We’ll be using our
expertise to help people
to sustain drug and
alcohol-free lifestyles...’
The amalgamation of TTP Housing and
Inward House Projects
brings more than 200
recovery beds under one provider, making it one
of the largest providers of recovery housing in
the country. The new organisation will work in
partnership with TTP Counselling to deliver
inpatient detox, residential rehab, community
daycare and abstinent treatment for drug or
alcohol addiction.
TTP’s chief executive in charge of strategic
development, Tom Kirkwood, explained that the
new partnership has a clear plan for the future:
‘This collaboration is a significant step towards
our goal of building a nationwide network of
recovery treatment housing. We want to
increase the availability of accommodation to
people during and after rehab treatment to
support their sustained recovery,’ he said.
Inward House Projects has been a successful
provider of residential rehab for more than 30
years, while TTP Housing has experienced
sustainable growth since its inception some five
years ago. Communitybased housing is a key
element of TTP Counselling’s treatment model at
a number of its ten centres.
Hayden Duncan, executive manager at
Inward, is looking forward to the next stage in
Inward’s work: ‘Inward has always been about
giving people the best chance to overcome drug
and alcohol problems and this merger enables
us to continue to do that by focusing on the
housing and support elements. It’s a vital part of
recovery and we’ll be using our expertise to help
people to sustain drug and alcoholfree
lifestyles,’ he explained.
The new partnership will manage recovery
housing across the country including facilities in
Yorkshire, Lancashire, Bedfordshire and Surrey.
