Our Background

"Helping Groups to Grow Development Ltd" supports the development and application of recovery and acceptance-based intervention programmes as a key provision in drug and alcohol treatment services and recovery organisations.  Our aim is to be a key part in the bridge out of formal treatment provision and into the mutual aid community.  

​

Since our formation we have been working with treatment providers and recovery groups across the UK and our programme participants, people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, have hailed the life-changing impact of our programmes:  Nudge, Pathways to Recovery and Moving On In My Recovery.

Moving On In My Recovery (MOIMR) is an acceptance-based cognitive behavioural programme with a growing evidence-base.  Unlike many traditional programmes, MOIMR is unique in that it has been developed alongside service users using their lived experiences of what worked for them in their recovery.  The programme is co-facilitated and delivered by people with lived experience of addiction, alongside staff from treatment services.

​

The benefits of MOIMR have been wide reaching, profoundly empowering and since its development the programme has been credited with helping hundreds of people across the UK achieve sustained recovery from addiction.  With the addition of the new, free Moving On App we have an additional resource that can offer real-time intervention on a hand held devise or on a desktop computer. 

Additional programmes like Nudge and Pathways to Recovery offer support for the whole treatment journey, from those finding it difficult to engage and in entrenched and unhelpful patterns of behaviour to those in the early stages of recovery.
