RAPt is a charity providing 12-step substance abuse treatment programmes, based on total abstinence, to those involved in the criminal justice system, together with support services to enable addicts to achieve and maintain recovery and lead law-abiding lives.
- Based on the principles of 12-step abstinence-based recovery, it involves groupwork and community activities as well as counselling and lectures. To participate, prisoners must agree to give up drugs and alcohol completely.
- Programmes are full-time for around three months and are run by trained counsellors, most of whom are ex-addicts. Volunteers and 'peer counsellors provide support.
- Aftercare service is provided for those who graduate from the programme.
- Most who start the programme progress to graduation. Among RAPt's graduates, relapse into drug misuse and re-offending is rare.
