Hamer Cottage, Rochdale
Alcohol Rehabilitation in a Therapeutic Environment

About us:

Living in the depths of alcoholism is a lonely and desperate place; living with someone else in the depths of alcoholism is a frustrating and often thankless task. Often people feel as if there is nothing else; nowhere else to go, no-one who can truly understand and make a difference.

Everyday, throughout a period of over 17years, Hamer Cottage has helped people suffering from alcoholism come to terms with their illness; we have helped people to re-build their lives, to find hope, contentment and enthusiasm and to live sober and happy lives.

Hamer Cottage is situated on Halifax Road in Rochdale (A58). This is the main road linking Rochdale to Littleborough and Halifax.

Hamer Cottage is a listed building comprising of two three storey period cottages merged together to form one resource.

Located with easy access to local amenities and Rochdale town centre, and a short bus ride away from the Hollingworth Lake Country Park.

It offers;

* twelve single occupancy comfortably furnished bedrooms
* a large communal lounge with TV, Video/DVD and Music Centre
* two quiet lounges one equipped with PCs
* combined dining room and open access well-equipped kitchen
* separate dual utility and leisure facilities

At Hamer Cottage each Service User is appointed a key worker on admission. This key worker will hopefully remain with them throughout their stay and will spend at least one hour per week in one to one counselling sessions with you.

Together you will devise a plan with your key worker to decide together what you need to work on during your stay.

As well as discussing alcohol related issues you can discuss any other issues in your one to ones that you may need help with; this includes abuse, eating problems, obsessions, anxiety and so much more.

Hamer Cottage is a strict dry facility – this means that any visitors having consumed alcohol or drugs will not be allowed entry and any residents having consumed alcohol or used drugs will be immediately discharged. Random alcohol and drug tests will regularly take place
