Our Residential facilities comprise of the 9 bed mixed gender DetoxPlus Centre, a 29 bed Primary Treatment Centre at Pierpoint House, and a 16 bed mixed gender Extended Treatment Centre at Holly Lodge. We also provide Aftercare, Family Support and Community Services. All our treatment programmes work from an abstinence-based philosophy so that each person may reach a clearer understanding of their Subsstance Abuse, Dependency or Addiction.
We believe that people who have a life-threatening relationship with Drugs and/or Alcohol need a period of time totally substance-free in order to make a clear assessment of their lifestyle.
A comprehensive Moduler Therapeutic Programme has been developed to provide a variety of options in order to suit a person's individual needs.
DETOXIFICATION
The DetoxPlus Module provides effective intervention through Assessment Replace Prevention Education. A team of General Practitioners with extensive experience of the process of Detoxification provide a full Medical Assessment after admission.
24-Hour Nursing cover is also provide to ensure that each individual's physical and mental health is appropriately managed in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental,drug and alcohol-free environment. Detoxification can take an average of 14 days, depending on individual needs.The physical discomfort of withdrawal is reduced to a large degree by the reducing regime of the prescribed medication used for detoxification, although some minor physical and psychological symptoms can be experienced. DetoxPlus also offer Alternative Health Support, along-side of our traditional Medicated Detoxification procedure.
Auricular Acupuncture and Herbal Teas, such as Sleepy Tea, complement the process, helping to reduce stress and anxiety and restoring natural sleep pattern. Our full time Chef creates healthy and nutritious meals, including vegetarian.
