Welcome

People helping people, supporting sustainable recovery for everyone.

Welcome to the Beacons – a set of four Recovery Hubs based in South Lanarkshire. We believe wholeheartedly that recovery from substance use is possible for anyone. Our purpose is to bring together people with lived experience of substance use to create vibrant recovery communities throughout South Lanarkshire, who support each other and reach out to others who need help.

Each Beacon is a space to feel welcome, whether you’re coming in to attend a Recovery Group or simply looking for a safe space to have a chat with one of our volunteers or a member of our specialist staff team. 

Whatever you choose, you will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect. The Beacons is somewhere to feel welcome.
