The 18-week residential programme works to support people out of addiction and into long term, sustainable recovery. RISE Rehab is part of the City of Liverpool Young Men's Christian Association, a registered charity.

The service is registered to provide the regulated activity Accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse. The service has a registered manager.
