Clients are required to have a pre-admission assessment either at face to face the centre, by phone or Teams depending on circumstance. This lasts for approximately one hour, in which the client will meet with Staff and have a tour of the centre and have the opportunity to talk to clients and staff, if available. All potential clients attending for an assessment must not be impaired by excessive alcohol or drug use. Admission information and referral pack will be sent to potential clients/referrers, prior to admission and are required to be sent back to the centre, prior to the assessment date.
