| General Information |
| Below you will find some of the answers
to the questions you maybe asking yourself. |
| Who
is the Service For?
Our services are for injecting drug users who
are experiencing problems resulting from their
continued use of drugs and who wish to achieve
a drug free lifestyle. It is particularly helpful
to people who require detoxification and who are
unable to access or sustain other drug services
in the community and who require the higher levels
of support that are available in a residential
project.
|
| |
| What
can it Provide?
This service provides an assessment of
drug use prior to admission together with pre-admission
support groups. On admission the main aspects
of the service are detoxification from drugs,
respite care from drug misuse and the associated
lifestyle, and short term rehabilitative programmes
aimed at promoting a drug free lifestyle. Ongoing
reviews are held with referring agencies with
a view to preparing a suitable individual plan
after discharge.
|
| |
| Where
is it Provided?
Our service is based in Helensburgh in Red Tower.
|
| |
How
can I Request these Services?
Our services can be accessed by contacting the
Project Manager directly for information or
by contacting the Social Work Department and
requesting an assessment of needs. The Social
Work Department will undertake an assessment
to identify need and suitablity.
|
| |
| Is
there a Charge?
There is a charge. The charge will vary
from centre to centre. The Social Work Department
will meet most of the cost and clients are required
to make a contribution. This will be fully explained
by the Manager prior to a placement being offered.
|
| |
| How
Long will I have to Wait?
This is dependent on various factors. For example
the project may have no vacanices. If the project
does have a vacancy then as soon as the social
worker involved carries out the various assessments
and you are happy to move into the project, then
you can do so. On average, people would be admitted
to the project within six weeks of the formal
agreement of the social worker.
