Aspinden is a friendly, vibrant and homely living environment. The service specialises in providing care and support for people affected by alcohol dependency and resistant to changing their drinking behaviour.

Aspinden operates according to the Five Ways to Well-being and provides a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE) within a Harm Reduction approach to create a safe, healing environment focused on positive experiences and compassion.

Trauma-Informed Care underpins the support we provide. All nursing and clinical staff provide Trauma-Informed Care and apply compassion-focused therapy principles to work with multiple disadvantages and needs. We work closely with each resident through a tailored Care Plan that recognises their physical and mental health needs.

Staff monitor residents’ alcohol intake daily to ensure safe consumption, covering all aspects of privacy, dignity, security, choice, aspirations and rights.
