Established in 2015, Novō builds on the work of Yeldall Manor, an established UK charity providing residential addiction treatment that fits the cultural, economic, and social realities of its residents.
Novō Communities centre on Christ, focus on the whole person, express grace and truth, promote freedom and responsibility, and partner widely with local organisations.
We view addiction as a whole-person problem (bio-psycho-social-spiritual) requiring a whole-person solution.
On our 24-week Therapeutic programme, residents address the past and prepare for the future, staying mainly within the security of the Novō community.
On our 12-week Transition programme, residents focus on ‘putting into practice’ learning and growth from the recovery programme, and establishing healthy relationships in the wider community.
Both programmes involve: 1-1 counselling, recovery groups, opportunities to explore the Christian faith, vocational work, training, and the benefits of living in community.
We believe that long-term recovery is achievable, whatever a person’s story or circumstance, and that the best foundation for true freedom from addiction is a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ. However, we will never impose our viewpoint upon anyone, recognising freedom of choice in faith, as in other areas. We welcome and value applications from men from all walks of life, background, ethnicity, culture, and faith.
