The programme is run by both professionally qualified staff as well as programme facilitators, who have personal experience of addiction .They act as guides to the clients in living the 12 steps programme. They are recognised by the management to be a number of years in good recovery and follow a 12 step programme. This model has been applied successfully in other countries such as the US, Holland and Spain. Project facilitators bring a level of motivation, support and understanding from their own experience, which serves as a positive model to those in the process of recovery from active addiction.
