Sefton Park is a residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre and Therapeutic Community, founded to help people who have made a conscious decision to free themselves from their addiction by providing an abstinence-based programme.
What’s the programme?
The programme is of six months duration and requires the individual to explore past and present issues, looking deeply into how these relate to the cycle of addiction and connected behaviour.
We believe that by understanding these issues and by challenging negative attitudes, an individual may gain the insight they need to make informed lifestyle choices.
We aim to achieve this by a process of integration and full involvement of clients in the Therapeutic Community of Sefton Park. We wish to encourage open and effective contact for everyone who engages with Sefton Park , so that lasting relationships may develop based on a greater awareness about who we are, what we do and the way in which we help our clients address the issues of addiction.
What we offer: Group therapy; One-to-one counselling sessions; Individual care programmes; Educational programmes; Family & specialist counselling service; Safe and comfortable on-site accommodation; Access to local medical & legal services; 24-hour staff support; Liaison with local services; Post-programme local contact and support; Aftercare service
The Treatment
The ethos of the programme is founded upon an integrative approach to individual client needs within the framework of a Therapeutic Community.
The Programme draws upon many established disciplines of therapy where they are appropriate to the client, for example: Person Centred Therapy; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Solution Focussed Therapy; Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy
The Group holds meetings each weekday morning and afternoon and clients are required to attend and participate.
One-to-one counselling sessions are held each week with each client’s key-worker.
We explain the 12-step model and clients are required to attend Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous Fellowship Meetings on a twice-weekly basis.
Sefton Park recognises the individual needs of each client and will design care-plans to address this.
While we acknowledge individuality and uniqueness, we expect our clients to follow the guidelines in place that foster and maintain the Therapeutic Community.
Our aim is to create the optimal environment that encourages our clients to understand and address their issues.
Why Sefton Park works
The Sefton Park programme works because clients who have a real willingness to change and a serious commitment to fully participate can be helped to achieve their objectives.
We help those who have made a conscious decision to free themselves from their addiction and those who wish to address their drug and alcohol addiction by accepting the goal of complete abstinence.
The six-month programme is very demanding of the individual and of the group as a whole. It appears to produce better outcomes for those who truly engage in the process and commit to the programme methodology over an extended period.
The Therapeutic Community is fundamental to the workings of the rehabilitation process. Each client receives support from the community and in this way assists each member of the community in their rehabilitation.
Each client must follow the guidelines laid down for the well being of the Therapeutic Community and accept responsibility for their own actions.
