A holistic- circle of life- approach gives us our unique ability to do family work and reach out to engage the local community and society at large.  

Our In-volve logo depicts the "circle of trust". We believe that the acid test for any of our services is whether we would feel comfortable sending a family member or close friend there. The fact that many of our service users not only recommend our services, but often decide come back as volunteers is a testament to the way we work.  

We recognise that adults have different issues to young people and require a difference of approach, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to learn new things, explore their identity, take the challenge to make big changes; and even have some fun too. As a result, our services for adults address the needs of the whole person and not just their substance use.

Our aim is to get people in treatment, hold them there long enough for it to have a positive effect, and help support them to fully reintegrate back into mainstream society.

In reality we know this process may need to be repeated a few times before it ‘sticks’, but we also understand how hard it can be to give up any habit-   whether it’s caffeine and chocolate, or cocaine and heroin. So we avoid being judgemental. Instead,   we get alongside people and support   and encourage them on their treatment journey. We believe it’s a honour to be part of this process: that the people we work with let us into their most intimate circle of trust.


Adult Services

Smiling person

This year In-volve turns 21: traditionally a time when a young adult is given the keys to the door and flies the nest. In-volve’s adult services evolved from our work with young people and just as our young people grow up and move on to start new projects and families of their own, we too have come of age and are now sharing In-volve’s ethos and tools with adults too.
