Residential Rehabilitation Pathway

You can discuss the option of accessing a residential rehabilitation service with your allocated worker.  Your worker will assist you in looking at the range of rehabilitation services and their different approaches to alcohol and drug use to help you choose the best place to meet your needs. You can then be referred to the rehab for an assessment and consideration of a date for admission - sometimes there can be a waiting list for a place to be available.  You can also be considered for detoxification, either prior to going into the rehabilitation centre or within the centre depending on the services they provide. If alcohol detoxification is required then this would take place either within the community or with a planned hospital admission to a specialist unit.  If drug detoxification is required then this may take place within a specialist hospital unit and then transfer for continuation of detoxification within the residential rehabilitation service.
