Recovery Festival - Housing
Setting the scene
Marcus Roberts
Chief Executive, DrugScope
‘Building recovery in
communities’
-‘drug free life’ (but also
medically assisted recovery);
-‘individual person-centred
journey’;
-‘recovery capital’;
-‘recovery champions’;
-‘enable reintegration back
into communities’
housing/employment.
Most people with periods of
dependent or problematic use in
their lives overcome this and
move on.
ALSO
Many people who develop severe
dependence have pre-existing
problems or issues. People whose
lives are dominated by drug and
alcohol dependence often incur
significant collateral damage in
addition, e.g. health harms.
Overcoming drug or alcohol
problems is a difficult … our
ambition for recovery should be
tempered with realism.
‘Effective solutions to
housing [are needed]
whereby in every local area
there is ready access to
reasonable standard
accommodation. This is a
pre-requisite for any
progress to be made with
individual recovery’
CEO of treatment service
“Somewhere to live, people to talk to, therapy to
help with the past’’
