All placements at this service are funded by the Scottish Government
This new service offers a drug and alcohol-free environment and structured support for men and women looking to address their problematic drug or alcohol use.
The service is situated in the picturesque rural Aberdeenshire countryside. It offers 27 large modern en-suite single rooms and is accessible for people with additional mobility needs.
Our multi-disciplinary team provide personalised support through one-to-one, group and complementary therapies within a Therapeutic Community approach.
The Programme:
Community Members spend their first few weeks in what we call 'the welcome house’ stage while they settle into their new surroundings. They will then move through the phases for the rest of the programme, which lasts between 3 and 6 months. Community Members are responsible for the day-to-day running of the house and support each other throughout the programme with more senior Community Members becoming ‘buddies’ for newcomers.
After completing treatment at the residential, people are supported to move on to our supported housing services or their own accommodation through a structured discharge and aftercare support programme.
Our structured group programme may include a focus on personal and behavioural development interventions, relapse prevention, harm reduction, peer-led groups and meetings, gender support, social and community activities, mutual aid and employability.
Gender-specific support is available throughout the programme
The service will have excellent links with the local community in Aberdeen and there will be opportunities to gain volunteering and educational experience. After completing treatment at the residential, Community Members are supported to move onto our supported housing services in Aberdeen or Glasgow or their own accommodation.
