Accommodation
WE currently run eight 'Sober Living' houses, providing over 36 beds in single
sex accommodation within a mile of the day-care centre.
Because you are most vulnerable when left alone or when returning
to your 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 you deal with
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. House rent is £100
per person per week.
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.
