Adult Services
We have a range of adult services for those 18+. These services are delivered from Brighton. Take a look below for more information.
Structured drug & alcohol treatment
Our structured drug and alcohol treatment service is available to any women in Brighton & Hove who wants to address her drug or alcohol use. We offer assessment, groups and 1:1 keywork delivered from our welcoming, women-only, central Brighton premises.
POCAR (Parenting our Children, Accessing Recovery)
POCAR is a structured, 16-week programme offering 2 groups and a keywork each week to any parent who uses drugs and/or alcohol and who has social services involvement with their children. POCAR must be referred into by a Children’s Social Worker.
Partners in Change
Partners in Change are specialist substance misuse social workers who sit between Oasis Project and Brighton & Hove Children’s Services. They provide advice and support to social workers and treatment staff working with families affected by parental substance use.
Hope (for Young Adults 16-25 years)
Hope offers drug & alcohol treatment and therapy services specifically for young adults 16-25 years.
Sex Worker Outreach Project (SWOP)
Our Sex Worker’s Outreach Project (SWOP) offers dedicated support and services to women in Brighton and Hove who are involved in sex work.
Looking Forward
Looking Forward supports women across Brighton and Hove who have previously had a child or children permanently removed from their care. We are an outreach service offering non-judgemental client-centred support to women.
Why women?
Women in the UK do not experience drug and alcohol problems in the same way as men. They are more marginalised, isolated and financially dependent – which makes them tougher to reach and harder to help. This inequality also contributes to women developing drug and alcohol problems – and often goes hand-in-hand with domestic violence. At the same time, it’s also less socially acceptable for women (especially mothers) to have substance misuse problems. This stigma creates a vicious circle – building a barrier to recovery that men are less likely to experience.
