Welcome to Nehemiah
The Charity
The Nehemiah Project is an independent charity working as a residential drug and alcohol recovery service for adult men, with five houses in South London. We accept referrals from anywhere, the most important criterion is that a man must want to change his life. Nehemiah is abstinence-based, with a CBT-based programme which tackles the root cause of addiction and teaches Residents how to make informed choices about their future. On completing the programme, men transfer to one of our move-on houses where they can take part in Nehemiah Works, a programme aimed at preparing them for work, with support in all areas relating to employment.
Nehemiah houses offer a homely atmosphere where Residents can address their addiction and recovery in a non-judgemental and supportive environment. You can take a virtual tour of our Streatham house here
We offer a home and support for men with a history of addiction to transform their lives. Our programme is abstinence-based, providing structure and a supportive environment where men can address the root causes of their addiction, learning to make informed choices about their lives.
Our Residents invariably report multiple hardships, which often include care, homelessness and prison, becoming marginalised as the result of addiction. The Nehemiah Project has been providing this support for over 20 years in South London, but is open to men from anywhere in the UK - the most important thing is a man's genuine desire to change.
