Addiction recovery coaching in Derry

The Breakfast Show

Available for over a year

Gary Rutherford has created a personal training programme with a difference. It's strictly for those suffering from addiction and merges exercise and counselling as a way of sustaining their sobriety. The addiction nurse therapist from Derry started up the not-for-profit organisation as a means to help those in the same position he once found himself in. He says exercise has helped him maintain his sobriety. Gary Rutherford subsequently gained personal training qualifications so he could combine his degree in mental health nursing, exercise and his personal experience to try and help others with addiction.
