The housing crisis is having a far reaching impact with people in addiction recovery struggling to find accommodation

Addiction counsellors say going into unstable accommodation after residential treatment can make it harder for people to stay clean and sober

"People are leaving the treatment environment still quite vulnerable and having to make significant changes to their lifestyle. Now, if the accommodation setting is precarious, then the chances of the good work of treatment being undone fairly quickly are pretty high, really"
