The Beacons

The Beacons Recovery Hubs 

The Beacons are Recovery Hubs located throughout South Lanarkshire, providing a trauma-informed, welcoming, healing environment for people in recovery from alcohol misuse, substance use issues. Our aim is to embed recovery into local communities and ensure that people can engage in a service where they are treated with compassion, dignity and respect in a non-clinical setting. Currently there are Beacons located in: 

  • Blantyre
  • Cambuslang
  • East Kilbride 
  • Clydesdale ( Beacons activities are availble in Lanark, Carluke and Lesmahagow)

The Beacons provide a safe space for people in recovery to connect with other people with lived experience. Individuals whose needs have not been met by current service provision will find an inclusive environment where they can meet other people through a range of different activities, including: 

  • Recovery support groups
  • Men & Women’s groups
  • 1-1 Recovery focused support
  • Signposting and referral to services to meet your needs
  • Social activities such as arts and crafts and walking groups.
  • SMART , B-First and Group Programmes 
  • Mental, Emotional and Physical Health Workshops
  • Psychological Interventions (1-1 and group)
  • Volunteering Programme
  • My Support Day provides services for people who have been affected by someone else’s substance use.
  • A range of other interventions and support options for people in Recovery

Our community participants, members and volunteers with lived experience create a welcoming and non-judgemental environment, offering empathy and the opportunity to re-integrate into the local community. The Beacons are a place where people in recovery can feel at ease and enjoy an active social life.  

Our team offers generic and specialst interventions and facilitate all the activities provided. 

For some people The Beacons is not the most approriate place for them, they may need support fom some of our partner services to reduce their alcohol/substance use to allow them to gain the full benefits that The Beacons can offer them. However we work closely with all relevant partners and have pathways in and out of treatment services to reflect the dynamic nature of recovery. We will ensure the person gets to the right service at the right time keep te person at the centre of all we do

Liber8 have been awarded The Beacons contract South Lanarkshire’s Alcohol & Drug Partnership, since December 2019 with the purpose of ensuring the voice of lived experience is at the forefront of recovery in the community.
