Merger Creates Largest Addiction Recovery Housing Provider

A new partnership between two of the country's main residential rehab charities has paved the way for growth in the provision of housing for people in rehab treatment and recovery from addiction.

The amalgamation of TTP Housing and Inward House Projects brings more than 200 recovery beds under one provider, making it one of the largest providers of recovery housing in the country. The new organisation will work in partnership with TTP Counselling to deliver inpatient detox, residential rehab, community daycare and abstinent treatment for drug or alcohol addiction.

TTP's Chief Executive in charge of Strategic Development, Tom Kirkwood, explained that the new partnership has a clear plan for the future: "This collaboration is a significant step towards our goal of building a nationwide network of recovery treatment housing. We want to increase the availability of accommodation to people during and after rehab treatment to support their sustained recovery," he said.

Inward House Projects has been a successful provider of residential rehab for more than 30 years, while TTP Housing has experienced rapid growth since its inception some five years ago. Community-based housing is a key element of TTP Counselling’s treatment model at a number of its ten centres.

Hayden Duncan, Executive Manager at Inward, is looking forward to the next stage in Inward's work: "Inward has always been about giving people the best chance to overcome drug and alcohol problems and this merger enables us to continue to do that by focusing on the housing and support elements. It's a vital part of recovery and we'll be using our expertise to help people to sustain drug and alcohol free lifestyles," he explained.
