Right at Home Central London is the first London CQC regulated care business to expand its services to support drug and alcohol addiction recovery. The service is targeted at adults post in-patient rehabilitation or detox to help with life management skills, harm prevention and relapse prevention.

This new Addiction Recovery Support service has been in development for a number of months with Addictions Recovery Consultant and Advocate Matt Thomas of Bulbarrow Consultants. Matt and our Managing Director worked very closely together over a number of months to build his knowledge and ensure we could offer a robust and market-leading service. Our joint goal was to bring the high standards of our regulated services into the Addiction Recovery industry with a service that is both ethical and affordable.

Bryan McMorrine, Managing Director of Right at Home Central London, commented: “The market appears to lack affordable in-home support for those in recovery from addiction. Many return home after an in-patient rehabilitation stay and need support to regain their basic life skills and feel confident to live at home whilst staying clean and sober.”

“In no way are we counsellors or a replacement for peer-group support, but rather a compliment to provide the emotional and practical support for clients to rebuild their lives and avoid relapse. “

“This type of service is very popular in the USA under the terms Sober Companionship or Recovery Coach, and is yet unregulated in the UK, but we are the first in London to take the high standards from our CQC regulated services and maintain these across such an offering. Our team’s training far expands on the traditional training for such roles.“

Right at Home Central London has recruited, trained and hired a team of Recovery Support Workers specifically for this service. Each of them has strong professional or personal experience in supporting addicts to stay clean and sober.

This new service is the latest addition to the services offered by Right at Home Central London. In December 2019, the business also launched a Dementia Friendly Cleaning service in response to demand from clients for a full one-off and weekly domestic cleaning service.
