A person who chooses to remain free from all mood altering substances, can engage in personal growth

About us:

Frenchay Residential Rehabilitation houses aim to provide an environment where a person who chooses to remain free from all mood altering substances, can engage in personal growth. The person centred eclectic approach by the team aims to facilitate a process encouraging a state of self-empowerment.

We believe this is achieved through self-responsibility, Self honesty, insight and appropriate expression. Self defeating attitudes and behaviours will be supportively challenged and greater understanding of slef will be explored in all avenues of the past and present issues.

A more a satisfying and fulfilling life without the aid of mood altering substances can be achieved through an individuals commitment to their process within our environment.

Frenchay houses are staffed 24 hours a day. We operate with 5 full time and 4 part time counselling staff, present Monday to Friday working days, and a team of support staff, who work weekends and nights (with a counsellor ‘on call.’) all staff are trained to a high standard, adhere to B.A.C.P ethical practice and are professionally supervised, offer a wealth of differing orientations and backgrounds, as well as expertise in the common area of counselling/supporting clients with substance misuse issues. The persons in control and the social services registered manager hold ultimate responsibility for provision of statements of practice.

The counselling team facilitate group work and individual counselling as well as family conferences/couple work where deemed appropriate.

Staff care about our clients so as to build both a working alliance and a real trusting relationship. We do not allow clients to persist blindly in self defeating, manipulative, aggressive or passive behaviours. Our positive regard for the individual remains the basis for our understanding of patterns of psychological, emotional and behavioural responses having been adapted in accordance with the individual’s perception of best surviving their past environments.

Just as group work is central to the client process at Frenchay, so our team approach is paramount in our staffing structure. Decisions and policies are made by the team collectively and after full discussion and consideration. Responsibility lies ultimately with the registered managers. Staff are happy to discuss therapeutic orientation and working practice in more detail if required.
