My Recovery Tameside (provided by Change Grow Live) – Hyde

Change Grow Live Hyde work with anyone looking to make positive changes related to drug & alcohol use. We approach treatment with an open-minded, free from judgement method. If your goals do not include treatment and recovery, but you do want to reduce the harmful impacts of drug & alcohol use, we can help with this too.

Change Grow Live are a national organisation, with the aim to help people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals and live life to its full potential. In Tameside, we offer support with harm reduction, needle exchange, housing, criminal justice, employment, education & training, and homeless outreach. We also offer a service which works specifically with young people, called Branching Out.

Change Grow Live's teams work in partnership with service users to assess their requirements and to plan individual treatment plans and support that will help service users to address their problems and achieve their personal goals.

We provide a full range of treatment and recovery interventions for people who require services for their drug or alcohol use. We do this by providing:

• Initial assessment to work out what support will benefit you
• Brief interventions (including harm reduction advice and support over the phone)
• Medically assisted treatment (MAT)
