Recovery stories
Every day we work with individuals and families whose lives have been affected by substance misuse. Their stories are often harrowing and heart-breaking. But when service users make a positive change and start on the road of recovery, their stories can be inspirational. They remind us all that there is a way out from addiction or dependence to alcohol or drugs. Check out the stories below to find out about the impact our work has on real people’s lives.

Representing Doncaster Drug and Alcohol Services, they were attending the 7th annual UK Recovery Walk, joining thousands of other people in recovery, along with family and friends and the services that provide them with support.
