Struggling with drug or alcohol problems?
Betel is an independent Christian charity for men and women affected by drug and alcohol addiction and homelessness. Through work, well-being and worship, we restore broken lives.
About Betel
Betel is a Christian community dedicated to restoring people suffering from addiction and substance abuse to healthy, independent lifestyles. We train men and women in a wide range of life and employment skills, enabling them to rebuild a strong work ethic. All of our residences are drug and alcohol free and totally free of charge.
Betel residents enter and exit voluntarily but we suggest they come for a minimum of 12 to 18 months. Daily teamwork in our charitable businesses or workshops helps to build job skills, diligence, dependability, self-esteem and respect for supervisors. This therapeutic work aids the residents’ personal recovery, whilst restoring self-dignity and a sense of purpose.
Changed Lives
"I tried everything to get free from drugs and attended at least 16 rehabs and nothing worked. I left South Africa to get away from the mess I had made, immigrated to the UK and found myself in the exact same mess there. In the UK I heard about Betel from a soup kitchen and decided to go.
It was different from anything I had tried before. The people were loving and caring and the thing that amazed me was that they were all recovered addicts. I desperately wanted what they had – freedom and victory over drugs…"
