Manchester: Bennett House

Bennett House, Manchester
Alcohol abstinence based residential service for men aged 18 to 65

About us:

Alcohol and Drug Services’ residential services provide safe, supportive alcohol and drug-free residential accommodation for men whose chronic use of alcohol has become a problem, and who have identified the need for residential, therapeutic support and abstinence as a positive alternative.

The aim of the residential units is to provide a non-judgmental environment within which residents will be encouraged to evaluate their lifestyle and explore their emotional, physical, psychological and social needs. It is by assisting the residents to a greater understanding of those needs, that they are enabled to make positive choices regarding the changes they wish to make in their lives, thereby facilitating personal growth and development.

We are an abstinence based residential service, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Office hours are 9.15am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

Our service is available to men aged 18 to 65 whose lives have been severely affected by their misuse of alcohol.

On admission, clients are allocated a key worker for weekly one-to-one sessions working on practical, emotional and psychological issues.
Social Activities

There are many weekly social activities on offer and every year we take part in an sponsored walk and go on a short activity holiday in the lake district.
Education (voluntary work)

We provide assistance to develop skills including budgeting, cooking and returning to work, where appropriate. We also have access to a wide range of educational and voluntary services in the community.

How do I apply? Referrals can either be made directly to the Project Manager or by your representative, e.g. Alcohol Worker, Social Worker, Probation Officer, Doctor or Hospital Staff.

What happens when we meet? You will be asked to attend the project for an assessment Interview. The purpose of this is to find out what you want and need, and to establish whether Bennett House is the best environment to meet those needs. If you are not sure about this, check our Frequently Asked Questions.

A decision will normally be made on the day of the assessment and an admission date, or approximate waiting time, will be given.
Structured Therapeutic Group Programme

Sessions take place in a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can feel secure. Residents participate in a wide range of groups – Therapeutic, Educational and Social.

We’ll make you welcome:

* Contact us by phone for advice and information
* Book an appointment by phone or in person
* Ask for a referral from any source in the community, such as your GP.
