STRIDE substance addictions program

Structured support for alcohol and other drug challenges.

Transform the pattern. Reclaim the person.

STRIDE supports individuals experiencing addiction or problematic use of alcohol or other substances. Participants explore triggers and behavioural patterns while developing strategies for emotional regulation, relapse prevention and long-term recovery.

The program focuses not only on reducing substance use – but on strengthening the psychological foundations needed for sustainable change.

Drawing on CBT, DBT and attachment-based principles, the program supports participants to:

  • understand the emotional and behavioural drivers of substance use
  • build skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
  • address maladaptive thinking patterns
  • strengthen relational safety and reconnection to self and others

The program aligns with contemporary best practice in addictions care and is delivered within a supportive, structured group environment.

Suitable for

Addiction to, or problematic alcohol and/or drug use
