Following on from completion of the referral, a look and see visit to the programme is organised. We establish the drug free status of potential participants before they move into the pre entry stage.
In this stage the participant continues to attend and are supported by staff as they prepare to enter the part time stage of the programme.
In the part time stage participants enter into the holistic groups and begin to engage and develop friendships with other participants and a relationship with their primary worker who will be the support throughout their programme, providing counseling and direction as they move from stage to stage. This consists of attending five days per week, three half days and two full days. Participants are continuously supported through this stage.
Having completed the part time stage participants now enter into the programme full time and are in the main therapeutic process groups and the psycho educational group aspect of the programme. Here participants are now in individual one to one counseling whilst on the programme full time.
Having completed the previous stages of the programme participants are now supported as they gradually enter into education and/or training or employment. Participants are fully supported by staff in this stage as they transition to completion of the programme. Ongoing aftercare support is available for participants who complete the programme.
