Welcome to staff joining our new Addictions service in Hounslow

Today (Thursday 5 July) CNWL welcomes staff to our new community drug and alcohol recovery service in Hounslow.

Addiction Recovery Community (ARC) Hounslow - a partnership between CNWL and the charity Phoenix Futures -helps people break a cycle of addiction to substances such as heroin, cocaine, and new psychoactive substance as well as long term alcohol addiction.

It works with people at any stage of their alcohol or drug difficulties to provide a single point of access to assessment and treatment.

The service is run from Montague Hall, Montague Road, Hounslow TW3 1LD.

Claire Murdoch, Chief Executive of CNWL, said: "A big welcome to all the staff in this new service; and so pleased to be working in partnership with Phoenix Futures. These staff, with all their experience, will achieve great things for the people who need their expert care. This is an important service. Welcome!"

Karen Biggs, Chief Executive of Phoenix Futures, said: ‘'Phoenix is very pleased to be delivering another service with CNWL. Together we bring a wealth of expertise and experience that will support the staffof our Hounslow service to deliver the excellent care our service users deserve."
