Equinox
An innovative drug programme designed to help people with a history of chaotic drug use opened its doors for the first time on 26 October 2006, thanks to a £272,000 investment from Futurebuilders England. In a first for London, Friends Road will offer a new six-week intensive ‘stabilisation’ programme to people where traditional drug treatment programmes have been unsuccessful.
Working with hard-to-reach and socially excluded groups, the programme at Friends Road will provide a structured residential environment to identify and change behaviour in relation to persistent and chaotic drug abuse and associated crime. Run by Equinox Care; a London charity providing residential and community services to people with drug, alcohol and mental health problems – Friends Road is based in East Croydon, working across the London boroughs of Croydon, Wandsworth, Sutton, Merton, and Hammersmith and Fulham. Clients are also expected to be referred from various other London boroughs and local authorities in the Southeast.
