It’s a day program
• You are in a safe environment in the day.• Unlike a rehab when you stay there at
night.
• You can go home at night in the real
community.
• You come back in the morning.
• If you have a bad night and bad afternoon, you can get some counselling.
• Easier to stay clean when you leave because you have integrated back in the community whilst doing the course.
• You face the issues in the real world.

behind the drug taking.
• I was able to face different issues.
• These helped a lot with my anxiety, setting goals and achieving those goals.
