The Arbour
The Arbour is Nehemiah's residential programme. Set in a beautiful house in South London the programme can help up to 13 men overcome chemical dependency and embrace a new life.
The Arbour is a community specifically aimed at helping men overcome their dependencies. Everyone joining the Arbour is committed to changing their lifestyle and specifically to remaining free from all chemicals, gambling etc.
The programme combines the 12-Step method with group therapy and psycho-education. It helps men develop healthy relationships, a strong work ethic and a plan for their future.
The Programme
The programme lasts between six and twelve months and has three distinct stages:
- Orientation & Start-Up (1-3 months)
- Self Development (4-6 months)
- Move-On (7-12 months)
The programme enables men to identify the reasons for their life controlling problems and to manage them effectively using relapse prevention.
It gives men an opportunity to consider their spirituality and includes vocational training to help individuals find work upon graduation.
The Future
Over 75% of those who have graduated from the Arbour are still free today - most have found homes and jobs in the local community. We facilitate this by:
Providing accommodation for graduates in our Move-On Home where they can maintain support and reintegrate into the community.
Ensuring every graduate finds an appropriate mentor in the community and is aware of regular ongoing support groups held at the Arbour and elsewhere, if they require them.
"hope and inspiration"
"I arrived with no direction in life and didn't know who I was. I can now see a better future for 2 years down the line. The staff are just amazing. They have the knowledge I need in life to succeed. They've given me hope and inspiration."
Jonathan Dixon, Resident
