Our services reduce harm, build resilience, and develop individuals’ core beliefs in themselves and their own capacity to evoke change and gain control over their choices.Gloucester House
Gloucester House is a rehabilitation centre that has recently been awarded an Outstanding rating from the regulatory body, the Care Quality Commission. It is open for treatment for people who can access local authority funding or source private funding. Our corps and community-based programmes can be accessed by all.Our view on addiction
We believe that addiction is a maladaptive way of coping: a normal response to an abnormal experience or situation, often based in our early years. We believe addiction is the result of a complex interaction between nature and nurture.
Individuals use their addiction as a source of temporary relief from pain. We shouldn’t be asking ‘Why the addiction?’ – instead we should ask ‘Why the pain?’.
That’s why we have embraced a ‘harm reduction approach’ to enable everyone using our services stay as safe as possible until such time that they feel they are ready to implement the changes they want to make in their lives.
Our services are tailored to individuals to support their journey to a life of independence. When we build relationships with people, we ensure they are nurturing, strengths based and unconditional.

The Salvation Army’s gambling addiction support service is worried about the increased number of online gambling sites.
The head of the organisation’s gambling services division, Oasis, said it had been noticeable since the nationwide lockdown came into force. Casino zenia boulevard casino.
Lisa Campbell said the rise in the number of unregulated overseas online gambling websites had coincided with the closure of pokie venues and casinos, and online availability of New Zealand Lotto and TAB services.
Online gambling companies were now advertising on social media, possibly because they saw people in isolation as a captive audience, Campbell said.Salvation Army Problem Gambling
The ads for overseas gambling websites were cropping up frequently when she was on Facebook in a private capacity, she said.
She was concerned that the tailored nature of how social media advertising worked, meant that others, including at-risk gamblers, were getting the same ads.
’I’m concerned they’re using this opportunity to bring people into online gambling now, which is pretty awful to see that happening.
’I am sure they see social isolation as a great opportunity to expand business without any thought for the additional harm this could cause, further exacerbating the financial and mental harm on people already.’
Oasis was now compiling information on online blocking tools that people can use to block internet gambling sites, Campbell said.
’We have heard from some clients who say they are really concerned about how they will cope, both financially and practically, at home with family or alone during the lockdown period, and are feeling very anxious, and some have asked for more support than normal.’Salvation Army Gambling Support Groups
Campbell said similar advertising was apparent before the lockdown but she was now seeing it more frequently.
Lotto and TAB were the only legal online providers of gambling, she said.
’They have said they’re stopping advertising around the scratchies and other products during this time, so they’re only advertising Lotto.
’The bigger concern is the overseas gambling websites where there’s no regulation, which are potentially the biggest problem for us.’
The Salvation Army was also encouraging anyone needing support through drug and alcohol addiction, to reach out if they needed help.
Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Lynette Hutson said they were concerned that people suffering from addictions may be feeling very alone at this time.
’The Salvation Army continues to support people online and over the phone. We want to make sure people have access to the help they need,’ she said.Salvation Army Gambling Support Centers
There was also a danger that people could slide into heavy drinking when at home alone.
’We’re here on the end of the phone for anyone who is feeling as if they may be getting into trouble with this, or other drug use,’ Hutson said.Where to get help:
