Why are recovery houses so important?

The Victoria Derbyshire show has gained exclusive access to Amy鈥檚 Place, a new recovery house set up in memory to Amy Winehouse who died of alcohol poisoning five years ago.

The Amy Winehouse Foundation says there is a desperate need for more such recovery houses, and wants others to follow its lead.

Victoria speaks to Alice O'Toole, a resident at Amy鈥檚 Place, Dominic Ruffy, projects director of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, Noreen Oliver who has advised the government on its approach to addiction and Jimmy Barclay, who has been through one of Noreen's programmes, about what recovery houses do, and why they are so important.
