How can WRAP help with drug and alcohol addiction?

WRAP is a tool for life – it’s a system for monitoring, reducing and eliminating uncomfortable or distressing behaviours and feelings, including addictions.  A WRAP encourages you to focus on your personal resources, strengths and wellness.  It is based on empowerment and personal responsibility.

This is what participants have said were the best aspects of attending a WRAP for Drug & Alcohol Recovery course:

“Meeting people and knowing that I’m not alone”
“This has been a great experience and I’ve learnt a lot”
“Meeting like-minded people”
“Finding tools to help myself”
“Meeting new people and knowing that I’m worth it”
“Sharing with others – not being alone”
“Learning strategies to help deal with problems”
“The ability to learn and look outward and make decisions that need to be addressed”
“The non-judgemental environment, positive outlook and professionalism”

If you are thinking about stopping using drugs and/or alcohol or want to stay stopped, attending a WRAP group will provide you with the opportunity to explore ways to support and enhance your wellbeing as well as new tools for dealing with the challenges you face in recovery.  WRAP provides you with a framework which can support you in every part of your life.

The next WRAP for Drug & Alcohol Recovery six-session course starts on Monday, 7 December in Lewes.  This course is FREE of charge and booking is essential.  You can download an application form on our Drug & Alcohol Recovery Page.

How can WRAP help when you have a long term health condition?

Living with a long term health condition can have a big impact on how we feel and how we manage life.  A WRAP group provides a safe space to explore all areas of your life from maintaining your wellbeing through to action planning for when life is challenging.

WRAP enables us to identify ways to support ourselves when maybe we are no longer able to do the things we used to do, for example, because you are coping with pain or experiencing significant changes to your lifestyle, or wanting to maintain wellness.

No matter what long term health condition you are living with, WRAP promotes empowerment and hope that you can lead a productive life and maintain your wellbeing.

If you have a long term health condition and you would like to attend a WRAP course, please get in touch. The first of four courses starts on 17 November in Bexhill.  The course details can be found on our Wellbeing page.
