Recovery Project

BHT Sussex’s Recovery Project aims to support clients to achieve healthy independent living free from alcohol and drugs.

The service provides safe housing and a rehabilitation programme to enable residents to sustain abstinence and rebuild their lives following addiction.

We explore the individual circumstances of each client in order to prevent relapse and prepare clients for the Move On stage of recovery, enabling them to reintegrate further into the community, take part in education, training and work, and lead a healthier life free of alcohol, drugs and crime.

People interested in accessing the Recovery Project are invited to call our office (01273 684741) to arrange an informal visit to speak with a member of the staff team at 10 Ditchling Rise.

BHT Case Studies - Jason

To support clients with complex needs, BHT Sussex Addiction Services works closely with partner organisations across the county. Many of the people who come to us face overlapping challenges, including severe trauma, mental health crises, and long-standing substance use, which can quickly become life-threatening without joined-up care.

By coordinating directly with local hospitals and services like Change, Grow, Live (CGL), we build practical routes straight into residential rehabilitation, even when someone is at their most vulnerable. This teamwork gives people the steady medical and emotional ground they need to step away from crisis, avoid relapse, and rebuild their independence.

Jason is in his 50s and had struggled with alcohol and substance use for decades before joining our Detox Support Project. This is his story.
