BAC-IN
BAC-IN TO LIFE. Making a difference, representing creative change.

BAC-IN is a peer led community service that offers positive role models of recovery within the African/Caribbean, South Asian and Dual Heritage communities. It offers hope and encouragement to people who have lost their dignity and self-respect and it provides on-going support for people who are struggling to stay clean.

In many African/Caribbean, South Asian and Dual Heritage families and communities alcohol and drug abuse is hidden and denied, it can bring shame and fear and lead to alienation and rejection. Mainstream services take little or no account of traditional and religious values and are unable to provide for cultural dimensions and cultural empathy to promote effective and lasting healing from addiction.

Empathy plays a vital role in the healing process.

BAC-IN is a unique and innovative recovery programme run by and for people from the African/Caribbean, South Asian and Dual Heritage community whose lives have been devastated by drug or alcohol. Traditional recovery programmes are unable to offer a culturally sensitive model of support, this combined with the shame and stigma associated with drug and alcohol abuse in some African/Caribbean and South Asian communities, leaves those seeking help unsupported and alone.

Many current members have faced racism, ostracism, cultural displacement, oppression, as well as economic and institutional barriers throughout their long struggle to be free of their addiction. BAC-IN seeks to offer an alternative, which celebrates diversity, recognizes and values difference and welcomes a wide range of cultural, religious and spiritual perspectives.
