Assessment

Every client will receive an assessment designed to determine the precise nature of their alcohol problems, including co-existing health conditions or social problems. The process of assessment enables an individual care-plan to be developed to meet the client’s specific needs.

Care Planning

After assessment and admission to our service, you will be fully involved in drawing up your own care-plan, with key work support. Both you and your key worker will agree on the plan. Your care-plan will identify your treatment goals and the interventions and services to be provided, and also who will be responsible for the delivery of differing aspects of your care-plan.

Key work

We are very aware how the therapeutic relationship between client and key worker can impact on treatment. Keywork support is empathetic, supportive and goal- directed. Your key worker will work with you to ensure the delivery and review of your care-plan. This will be carried out through twice-weekly keywork sessions.

Aftercare

As a client moves towards the end of their period of rehab treatment, the focus of care and treatment planning shifts to an ongoing support-plan, which enables clients to plan and prepare effectively for their post-treatment objectives and reintegration back into mainstream life. In preparation for the completion of your alcohol rehab, your key worker will help you to draw up an aftercare plan to assist you to maintain your personal commitment to your recovery, achieve lasting changes in your lifestyle, and enable early detection of a possible relapse.
