What to expect
When you've made the decision to get help with your drinking or substance use, our priority is to get you the personalised support you need.
A member of our access team can take your details over the phone or if you would prefer to speak to them in person you can drop into one of our hubs (see below for details). This will help our team understand your current levels of drinking or substance use and how we will be able to best support you.
Your recovery journey will be tailor made to your needs and level of drinking. If you are drinking dependently, you will be allocated a Recovery Coordinator and will see one of our nurses for an alcohol assessment. Depending on your needs we can support you through a detox either in your own home or at our community residential property, Windmill House.
Your recovery journey will be tailor made to you around the substances you are wanting support with.
Depending on the substances you use we may be able to provide support for a community-based treatment either in your own home or at our community residential property, Windmill House.
You will be invited to attend meetings and workshops, either face to face or online. We offer a wide range of groups including peer-led support groups to courses that focus on the psychological aspects of your behaviour.
We have 2 hubs around Kirklees. Select your local area to find out opening times, travel details and specific services available.
