Chorley: Inward House

Inward House, Chorley
Inward House is a 29 bed residential alcohol rehabilitation project for male and female service user

About us:

Alcohol Treatment is an enabling process which recognises the importance of self-help. Fundamental to the residential programme is the strong belief that the individual has the capacity to overcome those determining factors, which may have shaped their life prior to accessing support.

Whilst in alcohol treatment clients will be given the opportunity to share previous experiences in a safe and mutually supportive environment. Throughout the course of the treatment programme, the approach is to encourage clients to address their substance misuse and associated problems by accepting some form of responsibility for their actions, establish new values, define and adapt to new boundaries and develop a network of support.

Inward House recognises the damage which is caused to individuals, their families and communities through the abuse or misuse of alcohol and other substances. Inward House provides residential and community based services which are designed to support and empower every client in moving towards:

Recovery, including abstinence from illegal and problematic substance use
Restoring healthy, mutually supportive relationships with their family, friends and communities
Returning to society and the community without recourse to substance misuse or offending
Helping to develop safer communities and enhance the lives of the people who live in them by contributing to a reduction in crime and substance misuse

An approach that emphasises and supports an individual’s potential for alcohol recovery; the resident is central to their own recovery. Recovery can be seen as a personal journey requiring hope, a secure base, supportive relationships, empowerment, social inclusion, coping skills & meaning.

Our programme is designed to allow residents the time to reflect on how to overcome their addiction or dependency, and take responsibility for decisions. Residents will be supported in addressing their motivation to change and concerns they may have regarding this. Through a series of group work and one to one sessions, residents will be encouraged to think about their dependence and behaviours, and how this has impacted upon their level of personal and social functioning.

The alcohol programme will also address areas relating to the impact their substance use has upon emotional stability, family relationships, friendships, finances, social interactions, physical health and work.

Inward House Projects also offer a comprehensive alcohol aftercare, through care and resettlement package, and may be able to assist residents who wish to re locate at the end of their programme. Our resettlement team start working with clients within their first week in residential treatment.
All residents are also eligible to receive 12 months aftercare support.

The length of time taken to complete a programme will vary according to the individuals progress through the treatment levels, but will normally be between six and nine months. We also offer 3 month programmes, where this is assessed as appropriate to meet the needs of the service user.
