The Well Communities creates a supportive environment with a community of peers, professionals, and partners, providing continued encouragement and reinforcement to help build confidence, strength, and most importantly, inclusion—back at the centre of where you’ve always wanted to be.

Building healthy lives is what The Well is all about. For over a decade, we’ve been a premier provider and champion of quality, life-changing drug and alcohol abuse treatment and training services – the kind that helps individuals and their families throughout the North West cope with their problems, heal themselves and move forward in a more positive direction. We know. We‘ve walked a mile in those shoes. We understand. And we’re committed to making a difference now and in the future.

We have the expertise to support people with a variety of problems such as a history of offending, mental health issues, homelessness, learning difficulties and childhood abuse. Our services are free and people can use them for as long as they want. That's what makes us different to other support providers.

We're at the heart of the recovery community in North Lancashire and Cumbria, and our reach one teaches one membership approach ensures that Municipal Recovery in the towns and cities we serve keeps growing.

The Well Communities believe recovery from addiction and substance misuse is possible for everyone, and we’re here to help you achieve it. We aim to make a recovery a reality in North West England – whether you’re dealing with problematic drug and/or alcohol use or helping support others who are.
