Finding hope & rebuilding lives

Mark’s story of hope

Getting help for Mark was a matter of life or death, he knew he needed help, his family was constantly concerned for him. His story is one of radical transformation.

Donald’s restoration with his family

Donald has been struggling with substance abuse for close to 30 years. It wasn’t until a good friend of his put him in touch with The Haven that he was able to experience freedom from addiction.

  • "Since being out of the program my relationships have now become brilliant. I can now have a family dinner and they speak to me and I can tell the way they are towards me. They treat me differently now. I'm not that person that they had to worry about. Its phenomenal"

    Mark

  • "Years of addiction and the chaos that came with it meant that I was carrying a lot of hurt and trauma. I was now in a safe place to deal with that and the staff there were amazing."

    Barry Murphy - Resident who experienced recovery

  • "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

    Maria Robinson

  • Over the past 30 years The Haven has helped over 1000 men with addiction.

  • Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!'
