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.
We're open daily and shortly to be opening two evening, to provide
advice, information and support. The first step is one-to-one counselling,
after which we can offer a number of treatment options if required,
dependent upon your need. We can provide on-going support to help
individuals, or their relatives/ friends.
Our staff work in GP surgeries and health centres to offer shared
care in assessing, screening and supporting patients with an alcohol
problem. We help those in the early stages of dependence to break
the habit. We also train healthcare teams in assessment, screening
and interventions.
Our detox nurse offers shared care in assessing, screening and supporting
patients with alcohol problems. Our detox nurse works with the client
in their own home supervising a home detox regime.
Widening Horizons was formed to support drug users recently released
from prison. However, due to its success, it has now rolled out and
is incorporating the alcohol services. There is a volunteer, befriending
and mentoring scheme to provide 15 volunteers within the borough of
Warrington to support the work of the hospital alcohol liaison nurse.
