ESSEX RECOVERY FOUNDATION

We are revolutionising recovery from addiction to drug and alcohol. We do this by improving services: bringing the community voice and the evidence-base into service commissioning and working with local providers to improve delivery. We also do this by creating a positive environment around services: destigmatising addiction and helping people in recovery rebuild their lives.
