Hafan Wen, Wrexham
Hafan Wen Residential Alcohol Detoxification Unit

About us:

Hafan Wen is a purpose built Treatment Unit committed to detoxifying and/or stabilizing individuals who misuse alcohol and/or drugs. All individual treatment regimes are offered and supervised by experienced medical and nursing staff. The Unit aims to provide a quality, patient centred service that identifies the service user’s needs and views as the main impetus for change in acknowledgement of their social, health and economic potential.

Hafan Wen is commissioned by contract to provide alcohol Treatment to people from North Wales, Liverpool and Sefton.

Hafan Wen also caters for referrals via spot purchase for other statutory and voluntary agencies and accepts private referrals from people wishing to fund their own treatment.

Hafan Wen views patients as unique individuals who have strengths and weaknesses and whose experiences are central to the delivery of a quality service. We believe that patients’ personal values and rights should be respected and that each patient has the right to be treated in a non-judgemental manner. Hafan Wen believes that to be truly patient centred, service user involvement is essential in maximising their social, health and economic potential.

Therapeutic programme

In addition to the pharmacological detoxification and stabilization, patients are offered a variety of activities and group work sessions to meet the aims and objectives of Hafan Wen and it’s Mission Statement. Activities and group work sessions are optional but all patients are offered the opportunity to attend. Due to the short length of stay, in-depth psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions are not initiated, although referral to counselling may be initiated during their stay and commenced following discharge.

Touchstones12: Colwyn Bay
This project provides abstinence based support for individuals who have drug and alcohol problems.

About us:

Touchstones12 exists in order to meet the needs of anyone who is suffering from an alcohol and/or drug dependency problem, principally through offering cost-effective services, providing residential rehabilitation, including supported accommodation, and a structured primary and secondary recovery programme

Touchstones12 aims to be as professional as it can in its approach to its work. We seek to provide a secure and positive environment in which a resident may:

* Become aware of and deal with the fundamental issue of alcohol and drug addiction, and the range of problems that derive from and contribute to it, looking at these problems not as negative, destructive destiny, but as areas of growth and development.

* Find a purpose in life that goes beyond crisis and failure, and results in a life of hope, self-discipline, security and personal development.

* Seek as much as possible, healing of broken relationships and painful past experiences, which will result in a fresh beginning and growth for all concerned.

* Discover and affirm the positive values of his/her life and character and to build on them within a new framework.

* Develop this framework through group-work, counselling, training, work, recreation and overall community life provided by the projects.

In our daily work we strive to go further, as we believe that a majority of our clients have entered into our particular programme for these two reasons:

* (A) Stop drinking and/or using drugs

* (B) To concentrate on finding new ways of living.

The project is based on a residential programme. Touchstones12 strongly believe that total abstinence predicts recovery. The main aims of our particular project include the following:

(1) Provide in depth help with the main problems surrounding drug and/or alcohol addiction.

(2) Give individuals’ time and space to explore some of the underlying emotional issues that are associated with chemically dependency.

T12 Client Says: -

“I’ve been to the lowest depths of existence. So much so, I believed it would be better for everybody in my life that I was dead. I tried that, and failed. Then something happened, amidst all this insanity. This organisation saved my life.”
