Open Road is an established Drug and Alcohol Recovery support charity in Essex and Medway. Open Road provides services to support individuals on their journey to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. As well as this Open Road offers helps to individuals in the Criminal Justice sector.

You can get help from Open Road at our centres, on the streets and at festivals, within the criminal justice system and working with businesses. You can reach out to us in person, over the phone, online via our website and social media platforms or via a professional you are currently engaging with such as a GP. Here at Open Road, we pride ourselves on giving people a safe place to come and discuss their problems free from judgement and in complete confidence with our trained and professional staff.
Open Road began providing services in Clacton in 1995 and this centre coordinates services across the Tendring area including Clacton, Harwich and Jaywick. The Clacton centre operates a drop in Needle Exchange and a open access support on appointment basis. We run a friendly and non-judgmental service with a member of the team available for support, advice or initial assessment.

Our services include information and advice, one to one confidential assessments, one to one recovery worker support, help and advice on gaining skills, training, education and employment opportunities.
