The Scottish government has invested £5.5 million to support the development of this Aberlour Childcare Trust facility, as well as a house in Dundee which opened in January 2023.

The houses offer 24/7 support and keep families together by letting children of women with problematic substance use stay with their mothers during their recovery.

Wellbeing minister Maree Todd said: “This house will allow women to access residential rehabilitation services and keep their family together.

“We know there is a strong link between women having children removed from their care and risk of drug-related death. Treatment is more effective when families are kept together and it also reduces the harmful impact on children.

“Widening access to residential rehabilitation is a key part of our National Mission on Drugs. We have made £100 million available for residential rehabilitation from 2021 to 2026 to ensure 1,000 people receive public funding for their placement each year by then. That includes £38 million as part of our commitment to increase the number of beds to 650.”
