Groups

Wirral Ways offers various structured group interventions, such as:

  • Relapse prevention groups – identifying triggers, building coping skills.

  • Managing emotions – building awareness of emotional responses and learning how to respond more constructively.

  • Understanding addiction – psychoeducation about the cycle of addiction, brain chemistry, and impact on life.

  • Recovery planning and peer support groups – focused on building a sober support network and long-term recovery strategies.

Psychosocial interventions

At Wirral Ways, key workers play a central role in delivering psychosocial interventions—structured, evidence-based therapies that support people in making and sustaining changes around their substance use. These interventions are designed to address the psychological and social factors that contribute to dependency, while promoting recovery, resilience, and wellbeing.

Harm Reduction

Wirral Ways offers a wide range of harm reduction services aimed at reducing the negative physical, mental, and social consequences of substances and alcohol use—without necessarily requiring abstinence as a starting point. These services are key to keeping people safe, improving health, and opening the door to further treatment when individuals are ready.
