Over the last thirty years the Ley Community has helped hundreds of people struggling with serious problems of addiction to drugs and alcohol. The Ley
has gained a national reputation for assisting the development and rebuilding of lives through a belief that learning to live a full life without drugs and alcohol is best
achieved with the help and support of others going through the same process.
No-one should consider applying to come to the Ley Community unless they have made a genuine decision to want to change. The programme is not easy. It is
not a soft alternative to prison. No-one could go through the programme without profoundly changing their life, and discovering parts of themselves they never knew existed.
People come to the Ley because they want to break out of the cycle of chaos through misusing drugs and alcohol - and it is truly inspirational to witness the changes made
once someone commits himself or herself fully to the programme.
The Ley Community was set up to help people overcome complex problems which were ruining their lives. In recent years, all residents completing the programme
have been in employment when they left, and have been able to secure for themselves satisfactory accommodation. A great deal of experience has contributed to producing a programme
which works. The residents and staff have good reason to feel proud of the success of the Ley Community in helping people so dramatically to change their lives for the better. |
