Alternatives’ core theme and purpose is to facilitate the personal journey from chaos to wholeness for individuals who have a substance dependency, by normalising a lifestyle without such a dependency. Much of Alternatives’ core work is through its Service Level Agreement (SLA) with West Dunbartonshire Council for the delivery of community-based group work with service users in recovery from dependency on substances. Some of these service users are housed in the Safe House and associated scatter flats as part of their recovery journey, out with the SLA. The Care Inspectorate has recently awarded Alternatives a score of 6s across the board for its core work, the highest mark available and 5s for the rest, still an excellent accolade.
