Residential rehabilitation projects set in large country houses within farmland settings

About us:-

Kenward House and Boons Park are residential rehabilitation projects set in large country houses within farmland settings. They both offer the opportunity for residents to experience a well regarded, tried and tested programme of recovery that will help you to change the way you think and the way you have come to behave, in relation to substance misuse.

Let me explain. When alcohol or other drugs start to take over our lives, almost without noticing, everything becomes directed towards feeding the habit and, consequently, everything else gets neglected. In other words we lose touch with Realityand become accustomed to a distorted way of life. In doing this we also lose our social and life skills, we lack confidence and our feelings about ourselves reach rock bottom.

The programme of recovery at Kenward House and Boons Park, will assist you to get back to a balanced, structured life. This might be termed a Skills based approach and our hope would be that residents will leave the project, not just having re-gained old ground but with additional abilities that they had not previously enjoyed.

We do not do anything to you! We are able to provide a pleasant, safe environment and experienced skilled staff to help you achieve your own goals. We do this through Client-centred Counselling, Groups with other residents, a daily Work routine, Recreation and Leisure, Education and Training, and attention to your Spiritual needs, all conducted in an environment free from substance misuse.

The main components of this route to recovery are:

* Immediate attention to medical, optical and dental care, plus a balanced diet.
* Support with legal issues, court cases and outcomes, including liaising with Probation, Social Work and legal representatives. Compliance with Drug Treatment and Testing Orders
* Individual counselling, including Specialist counselling for specific issues such as abuse, grief, etc.
* Peer groups
* Drug/Alcohol education groups, talks and videos
* Adult Education for numeracy, literacy and Computer skills.
* Spiritual guidance
* A varied work programme (taking into account residents abilities and interests).
* Positive use of leisure and recreational opportunities
* Keyworker support regarding family, personal and housing matters.
* Life and Social Skills Workshops
* Introduction to the work of AA and/or NA

There is no time limit to achieve the agreed goals but we would generally expect residents to be here for a minimum of 6 months. This can be further extended on an individual basis. As might be expected, different people have differing needs and not everyone starts at the same point in their recovery. Some people have additional issues to deal with over and above the addiction problem; things such as physical illness, childhood mistreatment, parenting, legal matters, grief and loss and so on.
