Rehab Clinic Accommodation
We currently run five 'Sober Living' houses, providing over
25 beds in single sex accommodation within a mile of the day-care
centre. Because the addict is most vulnerable when left alone
or when returning to their own home surroundings, you may question
how can we provide adequate safeguards outside the daily treatment
hours.
We achieve this by having a dedicated team of Housing Counsellors
on 24-hour call whose main priority is to help the patients
deal with their day-to-day living in the community.
This supervision
includes for example, help with filling in forms (Social
Security and Benefits), finding employment (often volunteer
work) and day to day life skills.
Some of our patients prefer
to live in their present accommodation and similar support
is offered to them. It has been our experience, however,
that most patients benefit most by living in new surroundings
and within new communities with the same objectives and goals
- to remain clean, sober and healthy.
