Free course launches in the Wigan borough to help people with addiction
A recovery course has launched in Atherton which aims to support people on their journey to recover from addiction.
The Recovery Course, launched by Atherton Salvation Army, takes place at the church and charity’s community centre on George Street, on Mondays from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm and lasts for a period of 15 weeks.
The two-hour free course is based on the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, incorporating Christian principles, and designed for people on the path to beat any kind of addiction and dependence.
Captain Darron Boulton, church leader of The Salvation Army Atherton said: “We are launching The Recovery Course as an outlet for people seeking freedom from all sorts of addiction; drug, alcohol, gambling. All addictions can be damaging wen you are gripped within the cycle and feel you have no where to turn.
“The Recovery Course will be a safe space with likeminded individuals - we fully believe that lives can be transformed when people come together, supporting one another, sharing lived experiences and coping mechanisms so people can live and thrive after addiction.”
