The Club has two types of membership: ordinary members who are former addicts and associate members comprising persons interested in the problem and seeking to help. There is a small monthly subscription. Two
club houses are maintained one in Wanchai, on Hong Kong Island, and the
other in Tung Tau Resettlement Estate Kowloon where former addicts and their families can meet together in modest though comfortable premises and enjoy recreational and social programmes away from the pressure of urban society. The clubs are administered by an advisory committee elected
at an annual general meeting. The advisory committee is assisted by house
management committees, one for each club house made up of ordinary and
associate members.
