What will I do if I join a programme at Oasis?

The programmes are made up of a mix of activities and sessions with your key worker. When you first start the key worker will help you to identify what you hope to achieve and plan your times to attend with you. Usually women on a day programme attend about 3-4 times a week and undertake activities including acupuncture, kickboxing, yoga, healthy eating groups and parenting classes. In groups with other clients you will learn about aspects of drug and alcohol use which will help you to avoid problematic use in future, such as relapse prevention, relationship support and goal setting. If social services or probation have asked you to attend here they will be involved in agreeing your programme too.
