Claire Wixon Structured Day Care Worker

"I'm a huge believer of treat people how you would want to be treated yourself. I always go the extra mile never giving false promises but never leaving any stone unturned to get the best result for each person. I work in the heart of a community and truly believe that not only educating service users, but the community as a whole, is the way forward to provide a more positive future for everyone."

Claire Wixon, a Drug Worker in our service in ADS Staffordshire sums up the passion and commitment of staff at ADS. Working with people who have problems around alcohol and drugs is not easy. It takes patience and understanding and will at times test you to the limit but the rewards are second to none.
At ADS our starting point is the client, and we are distinctive in seeing each one as an individual, tailoring each treatment programme to their particular needs. We employ a variety of methods: abstinence, maintenance, and in the case of alcohol - controlled drinking - programmes. But the core of our belief remains the same: we are positive about change, and we believe that all our clients have it in them to overcome their problems and become productive members of society.
