Alternative View specialises in providing training programmes for groups or organisations wishing to develop a greater understanding and awareness of how best to respond to, the problems associated with drugs and alcohol misuse.

Drug and alcohol misuse in our society is a major problem and has a highly destructive impact on all sections of our society:

It creates problems in our communities
Breaks down the family unit
Puts pressure on our health service
Perpetuates crime and disorder
Extremely destructive to the individual involved in the drug or alcohol misuse

It is therefore important that organisations, groups and individuals who are supporting drug and alcohol misuser´s have an awareness of the concepts which are relevant to recovery, and understand relapse prevention. Our training packages include work shops (interactive), power point presentations and there are also some role plays and group exercises. We find these training methods have a more positive learning outcome and it allows us to reach, include and encourage all course attendants.

We are able to individually tailor a package of training which will suit your needs and which will allow all participants to feel included and valued.

Alternative View training packages are held over 5 days in Southern Spain.
