Wirral Drug and Alcohol Action Team
We’ve been working within the Wirral Drug Treatment System for three years now and have developed many meaningful relationships with partner agencies and clients alike.
We work with Wirral PPO, Probation Service, Arch Initiatives, The Wirral Recovery Service, local hostels, YMCA, Progress to Work and many more. We are extremely proud of our work in The Wirral and Intuitive Recovery have been a key player in developing a truly recovery orientated treatment system there.
In addition to the community based work we do for Wirral we also operate within a joint venture with Liverpool DAAT in HMP Liverpool. Our intervention in the prison has been hugely successful and we are now a significant part of the offender education experience.
Wigan and Leigh Drug and Alcohol Action Team

Key relationships include Wigan SMS, Leigh SMS, Wigan Alcohol Service, Worksolutions, Atherton Probation and ECHG hostels. We continue to develop these relationships and extend them to other organisations working in Wigan and Leigh.
Liverpool Drug and Alcohol Action Team
A DIP orientated commission partnering with Addaction in the centre of Liverpool. We run our course in their Fleet Street office, focusing largely scripted clients towards abstinence. In addition we have been heavily involved with the Liverpool Bail Hostel and our intervention there has met with considerable success. In addition to this work we take cross referrals from many other partner organisations.
Cheshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team
Intuitive Recovery works across the Borough of Cheshire promoting abstinence as an easily achievable skill working closely with all the partner agencies including the Community Drugs Teams, Addaction, National probation Service, Addulum Housing, Stonham Housing and Turning point we have quickly developed strong relationships with all the key stakeholders and are championed by those services because of our clear and strong focus on getting our adult learners out of services and happily abstinent and living independent lives.
Sefton Drug Action Team

Key partnerships include CRI and Independence Initiatives. We are also involved heavily in the creation of the newly formed Sefton Integrated Recovery Service.
Manchester Adult Social Care
Intuitive Recovery was placed on the list of providers for Adult Social Care in the City of Manchester as a specialist service working with individuals preparing them for detox and giving them the skills needed post detox. We have been accessed heavily by both drug and alcohol services because of our emphasis on self reliance and responsibility. We have also had a major part in the development of recovery based services and are at the centre of the exciting new Recovery Pilot. We look forward to the coming year as an opportunity to develop greater working relationships throughout the City of Manchester with all the key agencies and promoting our focus of moving people out of treatment and on to lead happy and productive lives.
Trafford Drug and Alcohol Action Team
A new commission initially centred around the newly formed Alcohol Service for the borough. Working closely with Phoenix Futures, Trafford General Hospital, The Smithfield centre and the CJIT teams at The Edge we have met considerable applause for our intervention. For our Alcohol clients we work as a post detox intervention, engaging clients towards the end of their detox at The Smithfield Centre giving them a firm and practical abstinence based focus as they leave to take into the community.
Rochdale Drug and Alcohol Action Team
We started working with Rochdale DAAT at the beginning of 2009 and have seen our course widely accepted as an invaluable part of the recovery agenda in the borough.
