Post treatment support:

Once a client is due to complete treatment, they will have two options available to them. They can return home with an in-depth robust move on risk assessment, one transitional 1:1 support session to ease the transition back into independent living and have access to our weekly community aftercare support group for 6 months and receive signposting to local services or other treatment providers. The second option will be to stay on with ourselves to receive supported aftercare and would move into one of our same sex aftercare properties where clients will continue their aftercare package. Clients can reside within this stage for up to 12 months + depending on needs and progress. During this stage clients will live in a ‘sober living’ house with others in addiction recovery, have an 11pm curfew, continue with their 1:1 support sessions, attend a weekly house group and access the community support group as mandatory. Clients can request to stay out overnight two nights per week however, this is not an entitlement and is highly risk managed. During this time, clients will be encouraged to either find voluntary work or further education courses to upskill yourself, we promote a pro-active approach to early recovery. At this point we will also offer further referrals to our partner counselling services to address any underlying trauma which may not have been picked up with our assistant psychologists during the initial treatment period. We also work alongside WAITS and ANAWIM who primarily deal with females who have a history of domestic violence. Clients will have a revised bespoke care plan and risk assessment and will have to maintain abstinent based recovery and we suggest a minimum of three mutual aid meetings per week or other similar support service. Clients can remain within our service for up to 2 years should a person decide to complete each additional stage to give themselves the best possible chance at achieving long-term recovery and a slow and steady return to independent living.

Harm reduction policies for clients leaving the programme early:

Any client who decides to leave the programme early is offered a robust exit support plan, in-depth risk assessment to ease the transition to return to independent living. All clients receive harm reduction advice and will be contacted by a member of the team within seven days after exit.

Resettlement/after care services:

We offer all clients the option to utilise our supported aftercare properties where client's can continue their recovery for anything up to 24 months depending on needs and progress.
