Our recovery orientated service

Our approach is very centred around the needs of each individual but typically, alcohol detoxes are 7 days and opiate detoxes are 21 days, with detoxes for other substances and respite from regular use of other non-addictive substances also being available.

To ensure that withdrawal symptoms are managed effectively, the units are staffed by Mental Health Nurses and Support Workers 24 hours a day.

With symptoms being managed, a key aspect of recovery is in discovering who you are now and who you want to become. Peer Mentors and volunteers ensure there are also activities aimed at creating a support network, building independence, and growing confidence for ongoing recovery.
