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 "Structured Integrated Day Care
Programme".
Sessions take place in a supportive and comfortable environment
in which you can feel secure. People with alcohol or drug problems,
and others who are concerned, can join a wide range of groups - Therapeutic,
Educational and Social - that are appropriate to their individual
needs. Our current programme includes:
We're open 6 days a week to provide advice, information and support.
The first step is referrals through local GP services and Primary
Care Specialist Alcohol Workers, after which we can offer one-to-one
counselling, community care assessment, working within groups, plus
social and leisure activities. Where required, we refer for in-patient
and residential care. If you are housebound we can visit you.
Our staff work in GP surgeries and health centres to offer shared
care in assessing, screening and supporting patients with a substance
abuse or alcohol problem. We help those in the early stages of dependence
to break the habit. We also train healthcare teams to in assessment,
screening and interventions.
A wide-ranging service - open six days a week - offering drug users
day-care, counselling and working with groups. We provide a Drop-In
service, backed up with education, training and job advice, plus social
and leisure facilities. We also offer services to people with alcohol
problems.
Getting into trouble with the law is often triggered or exacerbated
by drug or alcohol problems. Our non-judgemental teams give intensive
support in custody suites, courts, probations offices, and prisons
and in the community. Criminal Justice Clients in Fylde are offered
access to our services through our office in St Annes.
We provide assessment for pre-sentence reports and supervision planning;
we help people to break or contain habits; we organise social care
under Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRRs).
Preparing for life at the end of a sentence is crucial, so we work
with prisoners before and after discharge: advising on housing, training
and looking for work as they resume life 'outside'. We operate a 24-hour
helpline and volunteer and mentor schemes.
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.
