Joining Our Programme

Taking the first step towards recovery can feel daunting. At Nehemiah, we aim to make the referral process as clear, respectful and supportive as possible.

  • Men can join our residential recovery programme through a referral. This can be made by a professional such as a probation officer, keyworker or agency worker, or as a self referral. We also accept referrals from the community and from men preparing for release from prison.

  • Every application is considered carefully and fairly. Our priority is to make sure that Nehemiah is the right environment for each individual, and that we can offer a safe and supportive place where recovery can thrive.

  • If you are unsure whether Nehemiah is right for you or someone you support, we encourage you to speak to our referrals team. A conversation can often help clarify next steps.
