About Start2Stop
Anyone can stay sober in a private hospital. Relapse tends to happen when one returns home. This is not surprising; building a life in recovery is, to say the least, challenging.
At Start2Stop, we therefore believe that the key to long-term great outcomes is a coherent continuum of care where one lives.
Start2Stop pioneered continuing care in London, opening our doors in 2010. We specialise in helping clients to build lives in recovery back home and provide various forms of stepped-down care: residential secondary; residential tertiary; IOP Evening Programme; and Daycare. We do not micro-manage our clients or hide them away from the world. Instead, our job is to provide scaffolding and support as they reintegrate into it.
Start2Stop is based in South Kensington, in the heart of London. Our clients have access to all the amenities and activities that London has to offer.
