Day Programme – Structured Recovery Support
Recovery does not always require residential care, but it does require structure, connection, accountability and continued action.
The Malachite House Day Programme provides structured recovery support for people who need more than occasional counselling or meetings, while still allowing them to live independently or continue residing within the Malachite House community.
The programme runs Tuesday to Thursday, from 09:00 to 15:00, and is available to both residents and out-patients.
Our aim is to provide a consistent recovery framework where participants can continue working on themselves, strengthen their recovery programme and remain connected to a supportive recovery community.
Who Is the Day Programme For?
The Day Programme may be suitable for someone who:
-
Has completed inpatient treatment and would benefit from continued structured support.
-
Is living independently but needs greater accountability and connection in recovery.
-
Is participating in the Malachite House Reintegration Programme.
-
Requires additional recovery support without needing residential accommodation.
-
Has begun recovery but would benefit from a structured programme to help establish healthy routines and recovery practices.
Each person is assessed individually to ensure that the Day Programme provides an appropriate level of support for their circumstances.
What Does the Programme Include?
The programme combines 12-Step recovery principles with counselling, practical recovery work and personal development.
Participants take part in:
JFT Group Sessions
Beginning the day with reflection, discussion and practical application of recovery principles.
Recovery Workshops
Interactive sessions exploring the behaviours, thinking patterns, relationships and practical challenges that affect recovery.
Individual Counselling
One-on-one support providing an opportunity to address personal challenges and areas requiring further growth.
Step Work
Dedicated time to actively work through the 12 Steps rather than simply attending meetings or discussing recovery.
12-Step Fellowship Meetings
Participation in the wider recovery community encourages connection, fellowship, service and the development of a sustainable support network beyond Malachite House.
Recovery That Continues Beyond the Programme
The purpose of the Day Programme is not simply to fill several hours of the day. It is to help participants develop a recovery programme that becomes part of how they live.
The principles discussed in groups, counselling, workshops and Step Work need to be carried into relationships, employment, family life, decision-making and everyday challenges.
We encourage participants to develop their own recovery support network, attend fellowship meetings, work with a sponsor and take increasing responsibility for maintaining their recovery outside Malachite House.
Recovery is something we learn by doing.
Residential or Out-Patient
You do not need to live at Malachite House to participate in our Day Programme. Residents may participate as part of their structured Halfway House or Reintegration programme.
Out-patients can attend the programme while continuing to live at home or independently, providing access to structured recovery support without residential admission. This also provides an option for people who may have completed formal treatment but recognise that they still need connection, structure and accountability as they return to everyday life.
