Recovery | LIVED EXPERIENCE NETWORK

The Lived Experience Network are people who have recovered or are recovering from a place of dependency from alcohol and drugs, using that experience to support others on the same journey.

We are open 7 days a week in 51 Hamilton Way, Greenock PA15 1RQ with groups, activities and information. We also run weekly Recovery Cafes around Inverclyde, to help you get involved! They are a safe space with refreshments, socialising, sharing experiences, playing games such as pool and jamming with guitars.

Changing lives - maybe we can help you!

Our hope for the future is that when anyone anywhere reaches out for recovery no matter how small, our recovery team and peer mentors will be there to offer a helping hand, to assist them on their journey along the recovery pathway.

Who are we, and what do we do? We are people with lived experience of alcohol / drug dependency.

We offer practical assistance and support for people who would like to start on their recovery journey to engage with the recovery ccommunity, which is now operating over 7 days including evenings and weekends.

Community Hub

The Recovery Community Hub is open 7 days a week at 51 Hamilton Way, Greenock PA15 1RQ - drop in sessions are available as well as groups, activities and even the Wednesday Recovery Jam Session!

Inverclyde Recovery Community

We recognise that a person’s lived experience is their best asset and we welcome anybody who has an interest in recovery. Inverclyde recovery community is a partnership of peer led, person centred recovery initiatives, Recovery Café’s , drop-ins and support groups.

Lived Experience Network

We offer assistance to people to engage with the community and to gain access to services and programs, and support the transition back into what is a very hectic and complicated world. We approach this transition in a simple way of sharing experiences with others so that they may feel valued and respected.
