Our Aims

Our aim is to create a full-time recovery programme in order to keep guests engaged, by maximising opportunities for connection and support.

We want to ensure that service users get access to their preferred method of treatment and that they are offered support before, during and after rehab.

We aim to journey with guests for as long as might be needed, offering a tailored support package. Aruka recognises the many barriers that can be in place for individuals to be able to access their desired treatment option, in the desired timescale. We will work to help them navigate addiction services, and provide advocacy support, ongoing encouragement and relational support. Our aim is to provide fast and appropriate access to treatment and care
