As Recovery Month continues, we wanted to share a message of hope from Charlotte and Keith who have recently graduated from our DayHab programme 🎉 A huge congratulations to them both!

Their commitment, resilience and determination throughout their recovery journey have been inspiring, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved. We wish them every success for the future and look forward to seeing them continue to thrive ✨

On completing DayHab Keith said “When I first came to SIAS, I wasn’t just struggling with addiction I was struggling to find myself. I carried fear, shame, uncertainty, and a belief that perhaps I had gone too far to every truly change. Looking back now, I see that SIAS became much more than a recovery service. It became a place where I began to rebuild my life. Please know that the work you do changes live and mine is one of them.”

Charlotte commented “SIAS has not just given me my life back; they have given me a life better than I could have ever imagined”.

“When I first came to the service, I was fresh out of hospital -broken and a shell of a person. SIAS took me under their wing and helped build me back up. I may not have got it right the first time, or even the second, but SIAS never gave up on me. Through their leadership, support, and the Day Hab programme, I have become the person I was always meant to be. Thank you to everyone at SIAS for contributing to my recovery, believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself, and giving me a life worth living. I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me”.

DayHab is a 12-week programme to support recovery from alcohol and/or drug dependency and aims to build resilience, connection and relapse prevention skills. All the staff and peer mentors at DayHab bring with them their own lived experience so that participants feel understood and supported, and the timetable is full of fun and interesting activities, from group sessions and quizzes to cinema and bowling.

September is Recovery Month and we are joined by some of our service users to launch this year's campaign and to promote the hope of change for all those struggling with substance misuse.

Recovery Month is held every year to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and celebrate the success of those in recovery from all addictive behaviours.

Recovery is possible for everyone and SIAS has helped hundreds of people to transform their lives, many of whom have then joined the team to carry on the vital work and help others make a fresh start.

During this month we will be sharing experiences and success stories. Our service users, peer mentors, volunteers and practitioners will all join the conversation around addiction and remind those in need that help is available every step of the way.

If you are ready to make a change in your life, please contact us on 0121 301 4141 or email [email protected]

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day and this year’s theme ’25 Years On – Still Needed’ reminds us of the ongoing importance of overdose prevention, harm reduction education and life-saving interventions.

At SIAS we support people across Solihull experiencing challenges with drugs and alcohol and today we remember all those who have lost their lives to overdose.

Our mission is to reduce drug-related deaths by raising awareness about the risks of overdose and to share information on available prevention, treatment, and recovery support services.

SIAS offers free, opioid overdose awareness and naloxone training for frontline staff, community groups, organizations, and professionals within Solihull who want to increase overdose awareness and response skills.

Naloxone is a rapid-acting medication which can save someone’s life if used quickly after an opioid overdose.

Our training sessions give participants an overview of all the common types of opioids and what the risk factors are which may lead to an overdose. We then focus on the signs to look out for if an overdose is suspected, how naloxone works and what initial checks can be made before calling for an ambulance, which must always be done in a potential overdose situation.

A step-by-step demonstration of how to administer naloxone is given and what action to take next before paramedics arrive.

If your organisation requires naloxone training, please contact SIAS on 0121 301 4141 or email [email protected]

It’s International Dog Day and we’re celebrating all dogs for the love, companionship and fun they bring into our lives 🐕🥰

Here are just a few of our faithful friends shared by SIAS staff today…Meet Tess, Lily, Reggie, Nigel, Chase, Luna, Bella, Daisy and Tinks! 🐾🐾

If you are trying to cut down or stop drinking or using drugs, or finding your way through recovery, having a pet by your side can make a real difference. Their companionship can provide comfort, routine, connection and a reason to get up, get outside and keep going, even on difficult days.

Dogs and other pets don’t judge us – they are simply there, reminding us that we’re not alone. Recovery draws on support from many places, and sometimes four paws can be part of that journey.

If you don’t own a dog, why not meet up with friends and enjoy the great outdoors together? SIAS regularly go out on wellbeing walks, and you can bring your dog along. If you’re struggling, you don’t have to do it alone ❤️

We had a busy day of community engagement at the recent Chelmsley Wood Police Station Open Day🚔

It was a great opportunity for the local community to see the work taking place at the police station and connect with organisations supporting local people.

The team from SIAS and SIASYP was able to share information, answer questions and showcase the harm reduction advice we offer for adults and young people to stay safe with alcohol and drugs, and our Safe and Sound service, which supports children aged 5-18 affected by a family member’s issues with drugs and alcohol, also took part.

It was great to see so many people getting involved. Police officers helped to demonstrate the effects of consuming too much alcohol by taking on the challenge of our alcohol impairment goggles or ‘beer goggles’, which simulate the effects of being drunk.

Wearing the goggles highlights the effects of consuming too much alcohol on coordination, judgement, balance and reaction times, showing how difficult everyday tasks such as simply crossing the road can become.

Thank you to our partners at Chelmsley Wood Police Station for inviting us along and for a fantastic day of community engagement 👏😀

We took our fantastic volunteers out for a special evening on Friday to the Wing Wah in Coventry to recognise the vital work they do!

It was our chance to say a heartfelt thank you for all the time, energy and support they give 🌟👏

Our peer mentors and lived experience volunteers are at the heart of SIAS ❤️ They work alongside our service users as mentors to offer hope and emotional support to those who are struggling.

They also help facilitate our extensive timetable of activities from the art group and badminton to reduction group and cycling and much more, which are crucial elements in our day-to-day practices here at SIAS 🏸🚴‍♀️🎨

It was a great evening and, most importantly, gave us the opportunity to celebrate the people who make such a difference. Thank you!

There is strength in speaking up

It’s not always easy to talk about what we’re going through.
Fear of judgement, shame, or not being understood can keep us quiet.
But staying silent can feel even heavier.

Opening up can:
• Relieve some of that weight
• Help you feel less alone
• Create connection with others who understand

You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Whether it’s a friend, a support worker, or a group -
your voice matters, and your experiences are valid.

If you feel ready, talk to someone you trust today.
If you feel ready call our friendly SPOE team on 0121 301 4141 and we will be able to guide you.
