Addictions North East is a registered charity offering Supported Housing in County Durham and Sunderland With services users from throughout the North East of England

Our supported housing service is specially designed for people who feel unable to live alone due to addiction or behavioural issues such as mental health conditions, Learning difficulties or homelessness.

We can help through a holistic approach to not only recover but also rebuild relationships and avoid relapse.

Some of our professional team have fought their own battles with addiction, meaning they are best placed to not only help you in your recovery journey, but also understand your situation through personal experience.

Addictions North East is a registered charity, and we seek, where ever possible, to keep all our charges to a minimum.

For those applicants who do not qualify for housing benefits we offer a private residential service, which is currently lower than commercial residential rehabilitation costs.

Our charges are £500.00 per week for residents that do not qualify for welfare benefits.

All fees are payable in advance of admittance. Private fee-paying residents will be asked to commit a minimum of four weeks residential treatment as this is deemed to be the shortest time scale that can make a positive impact to the individual.

Please note – We will not accept any applications from fee charging referral agents.

For those applicants able to claim Housing Benefit, we will assist them to make a claim towards our residential charges. All residents in receipt of housing benefit are required to pay a weekly contribution towards their electricity / gas costs, water rates, TV licence, and broadband together with a contribution toward transport arrangements.

This service is tailored to vunerable women suffering from addiction, domestic violenceand other complex issues. We offer our services to those requiring the most intense levels of support and therapeutic services based on abstinence wellbeing.

The women we accommodate and support have complex health, child welfare, family and relationship breakdown, offending behaviour, historic abuse, addiction, childhood trauma / self-harm.

We offer shared accommodation – a maximum of two persons per house. We also offer single occupancy to those who require such a dwelling – moving on to their own houses after a period of sharing is encouraged.

Family accommodation is also offered, as single people with childcare responsibilities would not be offered shared accommodation for safeguarding reasons.
