Overview of Acti¥ilies

objertives as laid out in our governing document.
We have continued to offer I'.1, I0￿-term, low-cost therapy for vulnerable adults with alcohol issues and
complex needs. This has been done to a high standard. enabling clients to hold a good deal of autonomy and
choice in the duration and intensity of their irtdNiduèl therapv.
