The Glasgow residential service is a rehabilitation service for drug and alcohol misusers. Established in 1994 the service caters for people with dependency problems from all over Scotland, providing a flexible abstinence-based residential rehabilitation programme.

Situated on the outskirts of the city centre, it offers easy reach of the city’s facilities. A purpose built centre, the house accommodates up to 39 men and women aged 18+ who wish to take control of their drug and alcohol dependency. The service provides a safe, supportive and structured environment where residents participate in groups and one to one sessions to explore the underlying reasons for their dependency.

Through a process of self-awareness and understanding patterns of personal behaviour, residents are encouraged to acquire new skills and formulate strategies that will enable them to develop a healthy, drug free lifestyle and return to independent living in the community.

Key features of the service include:

• Theraputic community programme
• Abstinence based
• Fast access to treatment
• Fully integrated detoxification programme
• Individualised treatment plans
• Group and one to one work
• Additional gender specific groups
• Offender behaviour work
• Fully integrated skills and education programme
• Relapse prevention
• Resettlement support
• Leisure and sport activities
  

Each individual’s treatment is tailored to their needs, within a framework of 4 stages, starting with induction and working through the primary and senior stages toward resettlement.

All of our services operate a code of confidentiality, which will be explained to all service users at their initial assessment. We are committed to working in the best interest of the service users and this means working in partnership with other agencies to extend care planning and offer a holistic approach to service delivery.
