Programme details:

We are a Residential Rehabilitation Centre providing treatment to individuals who have substance misuse issues. We are a CQC registered care home with a CQC rating of Outstanding. Our 28-bed centre within a Grade two listed building is situated on the seafront in the coastal town of Weston Super Mare, North Somerset. As an alternative to the 12 step model we promote a self-empowerment programme within a Person-Centred ethos. Each Individual will be supported through a range of therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centred therapies. Fundamental to all our clinical and therapeutic interventions is client focused Care-Planning, Risk-Management Planning and collaborative working alongside our experienced team of Counsellors, Nurses and Key Workers. Our Non-Medical-Prescribing (NMP) Nurses facilitate medically monitored detoxes onsite at Sefton Park. Our detoxes are tailored to be client sensitive. We also provide a variety of alternative therapies including meditation, art activities, rural pursuits and some wilderness therapies. We have cardio vascular exercise machines on site. Our personal trainer attends the centre providing boxercise and cardio vascular exercises. Our Yoga teacher will guide you through a calming meditation journey. We take referrals from Self -Funded and Statutory clients. Every individual referred to our centre can expect an individualised assessment and treatment package to meet their needs.

Family support services:

Family support: Through Family Support we provide information on addiction and alcoholism as well as answering any questions that families or individual family members may ask. Confidentiality: Please note without explicit permission given by the client we are unable to provide information to the clients’ family. Family Conferences: We also provide family conferences for the client and his or her family members. This requires some preparation and has to be facilitated during the week so the appropriate level of support can be provided by our staff. Family & Children’s Services: Some clients who come in to treatment have family and children’s services involved in support of the family’s needs. We will facilitate alongside social services, family, foster carers, and responsible adult for supervised children’s visits. This can be at the weekend and on week days. All supervised visits are subject to prior planning and agreement with all agencies involved in the children’s and clients care. Sunday Visiting and Family Lectures: We do provide family lectures on a Sunday. The lecture will take place prior to a planned visit on the same day. Covid: Since the Covid pandemic this service has been suspended. We will reintroduce this activity at some point in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Activities provided for children and families:

Sefton Park is situated on the seafront of the costal town of Weston Super Mare. There are many facilities and activities for the family and children to enjoy whilst visiting their family member. If a family wanted to stay over the weekend, they could stay in one the many local Bed & Breakfast establishments and Hotels.

Post treatment support:

We provide a structured one to one and group therapy aftercare service. Information about this service will be provided on completion of treatment. Staff host a coffee morning every Monday morning in a local park where ex-residents of Sefton Park can meet, socialise and network. Through our Relapse Prevention Programme we promote mutual aid networking.

Harm reduction policies for clients leaving the programme early:

In all instances of a client leaving early they are provided with harm reduction information as part of their discharge procedure. If a clients treatment episode is ending prematurely due to intervention withdrawal or self discharge we will ensure that the client has a safe address to go to. The clients co-operation is paramount to achieving this. In addition to harm reduction information we will also sign post them to their local community services or to the community services in the area they are returning. We will also endeavour to arrange an appointment with their care manager or Key Worker in the clients local area.

Resettlement/after care services:

Resettlement & Aftercare: At Sefton Park we have a sound resettlement programme. We have strong networks with Supported Housing Providers in the West Country including North Somerset, Somerset, Bath and Bristol. If a client wants to resettle they will be supported by their Focal Counsellor in navigating the choices available to them. We endeavour to ensure all Supported Housing providers are providing a sound and supportive service.

How the programme is equipped for dual diagnosis or complex needs:

The outcome of any assessment of a client with complex needs will be based on the individuals merits and Sefton Parks ability to meet the needs of the client. Once it has been established that we are able to meet the needs of the client only then will a placement be offered. Once admitted the client will enter the programme. The flexibility of the programmes structure allows us to personalise all interventions. We have support from a local GP service in meeting the physical and medical needs of the client. We have a registered mental health nurse and a registered general nurse. Both are none medical prescribers (NMP). We work closely with care mangers and funding bodies to ensure the best possible support and outcome. Should a client go into crises we will engage the local community liaison team in support of the client’s needs.
