Lifelong Recovery
We are a charity that helps people break free from drug, alcohol, and other addictions. Since 1997, our aim has been to create lasting recovery for people in our communities.
We can understand and empathise with others in similar situations and see the person behind the illness. Many of our Acorn employees have been through addiction and know what it’s like to be in recovery.
We have a variety of housing options available to help you on your journey of moving towards fully independent living.
“Before I came into treatment I was mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally bankrupt. My addiction had made my life unmanageable; it was like fighting in the dark, I couldn’t see the light and I couldn’t do it on my own. Acorn Recovery helped me identify cycles of behaviour and ultimately, I found the underlying root cause to my addiction. I’ll always be grateful to Acorn for providing a safe space for me to heal from past trauma.”
