We are now a CIC and a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation, that means Get Into Recovery is now 'not for profit' and is registered with the College of Lived Experience.
Welcome

Recovery
Your journey starts here!
Welcome to Get Into Recovery, a pioneering Community Interest Company dedicated to reshaping addiction recovery and support. Founded by John Elford, a successful author, programme designer, and recovery advocate who transformed his own life through recovery over two decades ago, Get Into Recovery provides a unique blend of empathy, expertise, and evidence-based resources for individuals seeking a renewed life.
Our services go beyond traditional online rehab. We offer a range of resources, including virtual rehab programmes, specialised audiobooks, recovery-focused meditations, wellbeing guides, and daily journals, all crafted to support every step of the recovery journey. Our structured Integrated Step Course, built on Bloom's Taxonomy and the Conscious Competence Model, empowers individuals with skills that endure long beyond initial recovery.
Through partnerships with rehabs, Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs), and aftercare services, we’re creating an inclusive and supportive environment where people can not only heal but thrive.
Meet 'SPROUT ' – Your New Recovery Companion
Sprout is here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement on your recovery journey. This new, experimental AI chatbot is designed to answer questions, offer helpful insights, and remind you about resources available at Get Into Recovery. While Sprout is a valuable tool for instant support, it’s still evolving, and we’re continually working to make it even better.
Please remember, Sprout is not a substitute for personal responsibility in recovery or professional guidance. We encourage you to explore, engage, and let RecoveryBot be a supportive part of your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Every answer Sprout gives you has been personally programmed by John.
Sorry but Sprout is not a ‘where to find’.
