Reach Out Recovery offers treatment and recovery services to support anyone experiencing difficulties with drugs and/or alcohol in a range of local community settings across Birmingham. Our services are free and confidential.
We have recovery teams across the city which include doctors, recovery coordinators, nurses, recovery champions, peer mentors and volunteers.

At CGL Birmingham we aim to empower people struggling with addiction to identify and realise their goals throughout their recovery journey to a healthier lifestyle. Reach Out Recovery encourages community participation; ensuring services are based on quality, timely interventions that provide exactly what’s needed at the time and place it’s needed most.

What we do

We believe that everyone has the potential to change. Reach Out Recovery will work with you to help you to regain control of your life, tackle your problems and reach your goals.

 Our services are free and confidential.

 Advice, guidance and information

 We offer free, confidential advice and information about drugs and alcohol for anyone struggling with an addiction. We know everybody’s journey is different, which is why your dedicated Recovery Coordinator will work closely with you to design a personal support plan.

 If you’re worried about someone else then we can explain the kind of help we can offer, and talk to you about the best way to support the person you’re worried about.

A personal plan

 Your CGL Recovery Coordinator will design a package of care that harnesses your strengths, addresses unmet needs and helps you to achieve your goals. Support will be provided as close to your home as possible through a whole network of community venues across the city.

You’ll have access to;

• One-to-one and group support, programmes and complementary therapies
• Peer mentoring by people with personal experience of the issues you’re facing and opportunities to become a Peer Mentor yourself
• Foundations of Recovery (a cutting edge recovery support platform and coaching programme that includes modules such as Foundations of Change, Foundations of Growth, Foundations of Rehabilitation and Live and Thrive )
• Other sources of support, like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous or other mutual aid groups
