Osprey House group programme

On this page

The group programme is open to anybody who wants support with drug and alcohol issues.

What are the groups about?

The programme is run by Crossreach Beechwood House.

Each session focuses on a different topic include dealing with depression, problems and decisions, relapse and craving. There is also a SMART Recovery session each week.

Who is in the group?

People with an alcohol or drug problem, or both. The facilitator will provide support for the group to be a safe place in which to explore new ideas, learn or rediscover information and skills, and share problems and solutions.

Do I have to speak?

We’re interested in what you think, feel and say. You and your fellow group members are more likely to benefit from the experience if you contribute.

When can I start?

The group is open, meaning you can attend as and when you can, but we do recommend you attend the full group programme to maximise the benefits.

Where does it happen?

Group meetings take place in the group lounge in Osprey House.
