Introduction

This centre was established in 1988 in Lancashire, and comprises two residential Treatment Centres all within close proximity to one other, the local amenities and the beach. The first centre provides Detoxification, Treatment and Rehabilitation, while the second provides Extended Care for those who require additional time to address deeper underlying issues.

All our Centres are CSCI-registered, and Investor in People Accredited. We provide treatment and rehabilitation based upon the Modified 12- Step philosophy of abstinence, for adults aged 18 to 64 who suffer from Alcohol and/or other Drug Addictions.

We offer a safe, comfortable, inviting and confidential environment, in which clients can discover the nature of their addiction, and receive the necessary help from highly qualified staff to change the negative behaviour patterns associated with their addiction.

 

What makes us special

Sustained Outcomes of over 95% success for Detoxification, and of over 65% for Rehabilitation.

We provide medically-managed Detoxification and Rehabilitation under the same roof, thus avoiding the trauma often experienced by clients in moving to a separate centre.

There is a high Staff to Client ratio, providing 24-hour Nursing and Medical care, plus over 35 hours per week of structured therapy, with qualified Addiction Therapists on duty every day of the week.

Our approach is very client- focused, involving Clients in every aspect of their care and treatment.

In addition to helping the client break the cycle of their Alcohol or Drug Addiction, we also address associated problems such as Anxiety, Anger, Eating Disorders, Gambling, and other addictive behaviours. Family Support services feature prominently, and our staff work closely with the client’s family to help re-build bonds between them and the Client, where appropriate.

Programme Overview

A wide range of therapeutic treatments are provided, including:-

• Group Therapy • Individual one- to-one Counselling sessions • Art Therapy • Auricular Acupuncture • Guided Relaxation • Physical Activity Groups • Family Co-ordinator to help re-build relationships with children

• Family Support Groups & Conferences • Relapse prevention skills • Harm reduction • Alternative Coping Mechanisms • Conflict and Anger Resolution • Health Awareness • Focusing on other areas of a Client’s life, eg. family, Social and Work.

We believe that people who have a dysfunctional relationship with Alcohol and/or Drugs need a period of time totally substance-free, to have the opportunity to make a clear assessment of their lifestyle, gain an understanding of the changes they need to make in order to regain control of their life – a life free from addiction – that has purpose, meaning, hope and inspiration.
