Description:
Addiction doesn't need to destroy lives. Drug and alcohol addiction affects people from all walks of life and the reasons behind it can be complex. Research is now showing that in many cases it is a response to childhood trauma or difficult life events. Our service users have often lost their home, their health, their job, family, friends, confidence and hope - people can remain caught up in a vicious cycle of addiction, problems, shame and guilt . Our experience of delivering local services and projects since 1998 has resulted in a passionate belief that addiction doesn't need to destroy lives - with the right support at the right time, people can and do recover to become 'better than well', able to take up their place in society and be excellent citizens, parents, family members and employees.
By supporting individuals, we benefit the community; in turn, we rely on the community for our successes. You can make a difference as a business or employer through the power of partnership; as a donor or fundraiser to help us reach farther; or as a volunteer selflessly supporting our services.
Founded in Nottingham in 1998 (read more), Double Impact offers a unique service that deals with all the issues facing recovering people, helping to break the devastating cycle of addiction, and restore health, hope, dignity and purpose for those affected.
