Start

The word recovery means lots of different things to different people. At Start, we believe recovery is a journey that starts the moment you reach out for help and continues through after you’ve successfully completed treatment. Well be there for you every step of the way.

We believe that everyone should be able to get the support they need. Anyone living in Hartlepool can use the Start service, regardless of age, substance use or circumstances.
