What is Alcohol/Drug Treatment?

Alcohol/Drug treatment involves an in-patient stay. It begins with a thorough assessment undertaken by members of the counselling team, nursing staff, doctors and psychiatrist. During the first few hours', details of what can be expected from us and what is expected by us are discussed. A guided tour of the facilities and grounds follows. Belongings and personal effects are transported to the private en suite bedroom.

Each patient is provided with an information pack that contains a timetable of events for the duration of their stay. An average day may include, for example, a one on one meeting with a member of the counselling team, reflective diary session where patients comment on the previous day's events, relapse prevention, educational and therapy groups.

A free after care service is provided^*. This consists of three meetings per week at which all patients are welcome to attend.

Daycare is also offered, at no extra cost, to all patients.
