The project is an abstinence based hostel for people in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse. The project provides a structure and supportive 6 month rehabilitation and recovery programme. All residents are required to actively engage in group and individual sessions that aim to support residents in understanding their addiction, remaining abstinent, and supporting them to build on physical, emotional and practical skills to aid further independent living. Keystone residents who successfully complete the 6 month programme have the option of moving into Keystone 2nd stage accommodation, which is also abstinence based, with support from a dedicated drug and alcohol resettlement worker.

The project is not appropriate for people:

• who are still drinking or using other substances
• have a recent history of serious violence, arson or sexual offences
• those who are unwilling to give up their current accommodation
• those not wishing to engage in a structured therapeutic programme
