The purpose of Aruka is to provide better pathways in, through and out of rehab by supporting individuals in addiction with consistent relational support in their recovery. This includes 121 sessions, group work, advocacy support. We help people to identify the best rehab program for them, and then we work closely with them to help find the right blend of either community or recovery support to best suit their needs. We work closely with 2 church parters (Freedom City Church) and (Motherwell Baptist)- we work along with their drop in's where we engage with people in need of support during this sessions and look to engage them in support. Our support for individuals includes rehab preparation, support during rehab and aftercare support.
