Somewhere House, Burnham-on-Sea
Our Philosophy is everyone has the right to change if they wish to do so.

About us:

Somewhere House gives each individual both the opportunity and the right environment to change if they wish to do so.

Somewhere House uses a treatment matching system offering either person centred approach or 12 step.

Children are welcome to visit residents at the project. (made by appointment only) We also provide family treatment and support.

We will assess each individual but cannot accept those who are currently suffering from psychosis.

We do not accept arsonists, section 1 offenders unless identified as low risk through our assessment. We do not accept acute mental health and all clients need to be detoxed before arrival. We are abstinent based.

Assessment and admissions; Anyone is welcome. We will accept referrals from both organisations as well as individuals. If we have any doubts about if we can help, just pick up the phone and we will answer your questions.

Once you have decided that you would like to check us out the next stage is an assessment. Once again a phone call to make the arrangements and one of our trained staff will be only too happy to sort things out.

Additional admissions services; We do prefer all potential clients to come out and visit our premises. In cases of prison referrals and exceptional circumstances where a visit is not possible we are only too happy to carry out our assessment over the telephone.

Discharge policies; Our discharge procedure can either be voluntary or therapeutic. A therapeutic discharge is usually resulting from a serious infringement of the guidelines in place.

When a resident is being discharged, staff are required to inform all interested parties of the residents intentions and forwarding address.
If a client is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it maybe necessary to contain the situation overnight and follow discharge procedures in the morning.
Harm reduction policies for clients leaving the programme early; Harm reduction information is given to clients on discharge.
We would inform clients’ care co-ordinators, and look at support systems outside of treatment for the individual and encourage contact. We also advise client of available services.

Resettlement / after-care services; Our aftercare package consists of;
- Free telephone/ email contact.
- We set up discharge support / aftercare package to suit individual using care plan approval which would link in with service providers.
- One Zone counselling group is available (there is a charge for this service)
