Welcome to The Nelson Trust
The Nelson Trust is one of the longest established drug and alcohol abstinence-based treatment providers in the UK, with a national reputation for excellence and innovation. We work with some of the hardest-to-reach and most complex substance misusers, helping hundreds of people find a life of independence – a life beyond addiction.
Our mission is to ensure that people with substance misuse problems are offered the best possible opportunity for a healthy and fulfilling life by providing them with a continuum of high quality treatment, support and resettlement programmes.
Nelson Wins National Award
The Nelson Trust has won a national award for best organisation addressing issues of addiction in the Centre for Social Justice Awards 2009.
Resettlement
People completing a substance misuse recovery programme have dedicated several months to stand back from lives centred on drugs and alcohol and make some careful decisions about how their future is going to be different. However, moving back to a self-supported lifestyle can be a challenging transition, especially as many of our clients are homeless when they begin treatment.
Events

The ETE programme is designed to meet some of the social functioning aspects identified in the care plan. ETE provides group and one to one services to achieve the objective of transition into training and employment. All activities are designed to develop and increase confidence. Our aim is to motivate clients and equip them with transferable skills.
