Doors wide open is a grass roots peer led support service for those experiencing addiction.
Our staff are ‘experts by experience’ meaning that each of us had been touched by addiction in some way throughout our lives. We understand the journey and we have felt the pain.
We are here for the family members and loved ones of drug users to offer a cuppa, knowledgeable support and a non-judgemental ear. We know first hand that sometimes what you need is someone to talk to, cry with and be understood.
Also, we are here for anyone wanting to break free from addiction. We can help you start your journey to recovery, we will walk beside you and help along the way without any judgement or expectations. We understand that this is your journey, and we offer many different possibilities on how to do it your way.
Our service offers daily support, heart-felt conversation, compassion, and a safe place to be, but most of all we offer a sense of hope to anyone experiencing addiction. It is possible to recover from addiction and live your very best life.
On site opening hours: 10am – 2pm.

The Grief Recovery Method is an action plan. It is a series of small steps that when taken, in order, by the griever it leads to the completion of all the unresolved business linked to the loss. There are a number of ways in which you can learn the GRM for yourself or you can learn how to teach it to others by becoming a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. We provide weekly educational groups throughout the community and have Certified Grief Recovery Specialists on staff to help when a loss occurs. Please be mindful that ‘loss’ includes all tangible and intangible (moving, finance, trust, faith) losses and is not only focused on death of a person or animal.
