About the Trust

‘As part of my treatment I explored my role as a parent. I was taught how to communicate with my daughter and understand her feelings towards my addiction’.
‘I can’t remember the last time I felt safe – the Nelson Trust has helped me to find myself’.

Accommodation

table 

We have several houses in the village to accommodate clients during the early stages of treatment.  All have 24-hour support staff, and one is CSCI registered with the local authority. Living in small house groups creates a supportive environment and is an important element of peer support throughout the treatment programme. Clients are responsible for sharing housekeeping duties such as shopping, cleaning and cooking and regular house meetings are held in order to discuss any housekeeping issues that may have arisen through the week.
