First we find out what you want and need. Then, together, we develop
a plan to tackle your concerns and work out goals for your treatment.
This plan might include individual counselling sessions or joining
a selection of groups within our project. Look at the services below
and then see what's included in the services.
We provide advice, information and support. The first step is one-to-one
counselling, after which we can offer options of home detoxification,
In-patient detoxification, community care assessment, working within
groups, plus social and leisure activities. Where required, we arrange
In-patient and residential care. If you are housebound we can visit
you.
We have staff in many G.P. surgeries and clinics where information,
advice and counselling on alcohol misuse is available. If appropriate,
referral into the main alcohol service is undertaken, should you
wish to follow this path. Access to this service is through referral
from G.Ps and surgery staff.
We offer, advice, support, assessment and access into treatment
from within the custody or the court areas. If accepted we offer
referral into appropriate services and support through counselling,
social care assistance and drop in facilities until treatment
is available at other agencies.
ADS centres offer an exciting range of Therapeutic and Complimentary
therapies, educational training and social activities. Ring
us or come and see us for details.
