Alcohol Help

The Greens, Sheffield
The Greens is a residential ‘dry house’ for people over the age of 25 with alcohol related problems.

About us:

The Greens can accommodate up to sixteen people. each service user has their own fully furnished room and shared use of all other facilities. There are several bathrooms, toilets, a shower room and a large kitchen. There is a lounge/dining room and a separate TV lounge with a pool table and access to a computer. There is also an outbuilding, which is used as a ‘quiet room’ for meetings, appointments, key-working and for seeing visitors etc

The Greens operates a no-smoking policy in all communal rooms of the project. Howevr, service users are permitted to smoke in their own rooms and outside the house.

All service users are allocated a named Support Worker. During the key-working sessions and Individual Personal Plan (Support Plan) is completed. This is a joint agreement that identifies the service user’s aims and objectives. the plan is used as a working tool and is reviewed regularly.

Staff will assist service users to access any relevant external service - i.e. additional alcohol/specialised counselling, medical advice/treatment, advice and/or guidance in relation to benefits, housing and legal issues.

Staff will work with the service user with regards to their specific move-on requirements. The Personal Development Worker supports service users in registering with housing providers, bidding for properties, viewing properties and purchasing furniture etc. The Greens allows people to stay for up to two years, SAFAR also has a ‘halfway house’ where service users can be referred to if appropriate.

This enables people to continue to live in a safe and alcohol free environment but with a lesser degree of support and acts as a stepping-stone between supported accommodation and independent living.
