What we do and the treatment we provide
The programme of care is challenging and boundaried with emphasis placed on personal integrity and honesty from which to build the foundations for long term recovery from addiction.
Clients are treated from all over the world. Referrals are required to undertake as assessment prior to admission which explores social history, addiction, medical, psychiatric and forensic history.
The assessment takes approximately thirty to forty minutes and can be undertaken by telephone or in person if a visit is arranged. An admission care plan is then compiled and used as the basis for initial consultation, this is updated within the first four weeks of treatment by the individual's counsellor and subsequently reviewed four weekly, throughout treatment.
All referrals undertake a medical assessment on admission, with our doctors who prescribe as necessary. Medicated withdrawals are available for those clients using substances prior to their admission.

Treatment is split into Primary and Secondary care:
Primary care is the initial period and lasts for 12 weeks. Medicated withdrawal is provided within this stage. Clients live in one of two properties, Meijer and St Davids. Meijer has 9 dedicated female beds and eleven male beds; St Davids has twelve male beds.
During this stage of treatment focus is on the addiction and its impact on everyone. Clients look at the reality of their situation and past take responsibility for what has happened thereby enabling them to move on in to the future with a positive attitude. Clients attend 2-3 Group therapy sessions per day in addition to workshops and lectures and one to one counselling sessions.
Secondary care has three properties, Kintyre has 9 female beds, Larkhill ten male beds and Clarence Park Lodge 14 male beds.
The single sex properties enable clients to truly explore and address their issues within a place of safety and support. In this environment they are encouraged to attend voluntary work and/or an educational/vocational training course in the community.
