The service provides a safe, supportive and structured environment where residents participate in groups and one-to-one sessions to explore the underlying reasons for their dependency.

How is the rehabilitation programme structured?
The rehabilitation programme is tailored to your individual needs, within a framework of 4 Stages. They are:
• Induction
• Primary Stage
• Senior Stage
• Re-entry Stage
The length of time you spend in each stage will depend on your individual needs and how quickly you achieve the goals identified for each stage of treatment. On admission to the service, individual care plans are developed between you, the key worker and multi-disciplinary team. As you progress through the programme, care concentrates on life skills and education to sustain long-term recovery on leaving the service.
Induction is the settling in stage of the programme when you can expect a high level of support from residents and staff. You will begin to learn about the programme and therapeutic community structure, the house routine and rules, while engaging and identifying with those people around you. You may also experience some withdrawals or undergo a detoxification programme at this stage.
