BAC-IN is a culturally specific, Peer Led, award winning, 'grass roots' drug and alcohol recovery service. In 2003 BAC-IN developed a unique and successful 'transformative recovery' programme designed to help the Black and Minority Ethnic communities with recovery focused and offender rehabilitation support.

BAC-IN uses an integrated and culturally competent approach, which offers a diverse range of services designed to maximise transformative recovery, supporting individuals to take personal responsibility so that they may achieve freedom from addiction and become productive individuals within their communities.

Whilst BAC-IN is a culturally specific service, it is not culturally exclusive. We work in partnership across all sections of society, sharing good practice, consortia work and consultancy.
