Addiction can affect individuals from all walks of life, and each person has their own unique story. Because of this all of our programmes are uniquely tailored to the person. Each client receives a thorough physical and psychological evaluation, taking into account their medical and addiction history in order to create the best possible care package. Looking beyond their addiction, our qualified assessors will study diet and nutritional requirements, and screen for conditions associated with addiction such as liver disease. We offer a rapid detoxification programme, which can quickly and safely withdraw a client from their drug of addiction, through to a full 12-step therapeutic programme based on the Minnesota Model. This 12-step programme is presented in a contemporary way, focusing directly on the addiction and looking at issues of denial, unmanageability in life and getting through the very early stages of living without alcohol or drugs. With more than 30 years’ experience of treating addiction, our team has medical and therapeutic staff, including some who are in long-term recovery themselves. Each client is allocated a key worker to help understand and clarify the programme, and ensure that stress is kept to a minimum while working towards recovery. Though no two people are the same and every client will have an individual plan, many of the sessions come as part of group discussions providing an opportunity for mutual support and learning. We take an holistic approach, with yoga and art classes helping stress management, while providing cognitive skills and mindfulness applications to provide the tools to help build a new, healthier life in long-term recovery. Following the programme, a strong emphasis is placed on aftercare with clients learning how to spot signs and triggers that can lead to relapse. A support team and helpline are in place, as well as strong links with local fellowship groups for those that need them.
