Programme details:

Client work is individual and collaborative, enhancing autonomy, using CBT relapse prevention, the 12 steps and MI. Clients are abstinent while in Francis House and it provides networking social support. Primary and secondary care are combined with clients progressing from one stage to the next. If a client has any difficulties in Francis House we can mutually agree a transfer to one of the other two StreetScene units.

Family support services:

Family meetings can be arranged with staff, and family members can contact the house to see how their client is progressing, with the clients consent. Other support can be provided or signposted for family members depending on need. Residents can have visits from children and families in first phase and have home visits in second phase.

Activities provided for children and families:

Residents can have visits from children and families in first phase and have home visits in second phase. Each house has gardens where children can play under supervision. Children can eat at the house if required and visitors can go on the house walks. In second phase clients can go out for the day with their visitors

Post treatment support:

Re-integration is provided for the first 4 to 6 weeks. The re-integration package is ten days non-residential treatment spread over 4 - 5 weeks. After-care is one afternoon each week and lasts for as long as a client feels is necessary. Skype support can be provided or phone counselling for people returning to their own area.

Harm reduction policies for clients leaving the programme early:

All clients are given harm minimisation information and an extensive relapse prevention information during treatment. On discharge the harm minimisation is given both verbally and in information packs. Clients are either given support to find local dry housing and access to local services, usually in our own supported accommodation, or are referred to care co-ordinator.

Resettlement/after care services:

Our re-integration package is ten days non-residential treatment spread over 4 - 5 weeks. Designed to support clients in the move back into independent living in the community. Clients will attend groups and workshops and participate in the daily structure of the house on the days they come in. This includes meals and clothing washing facilities. After care is a free twelve week rolling program one afternoon a week consisting of group and workshop activities. Aftercare is available to all StreetScene clients.
