UUSTEE / PROGRAM

A recovery program built step by step

The program helps a person move out of the chaos of addiction through a safe environment, a daily routine, work therapy, and consistent social guidance.

Stages of support

From basic safety to adaptation

The organization accepts people affected by addiction and provides safe accommodation, meals, and a stable rhythm of life. This creates a foundation without which neither health recovery nor a return to responsibility is possible.

Work therapy is the key element of the program. Shared household and labor activity helps restore the habit of regular work, rebuild a sense of usefulness, reduce the risk of relapse, and prepare participants for more independent living.

01

Safe environment

Accommodation, meals, and a way out of street life and crisis conditions.

02

Routine and guidance

A clear daily structure, basic care, and constant contact with the project team.

03

Work therapy

Real household tasks help restore responsibility, self-organization, and discipline.

04

Adaptation

A person gradually returns to a more stable, independent, and socially useful life.

Meaningful activity

The program is built around useful work rather than passive waiting for help.

Collective format

Beneficiaries and volunteers take part in household work together, which helps rebuild cooperation and responsibility.

A step toward resilience

Future farm projects will both expand work therapy and help cover part of the organization’s costs.
