Primary rehabilitation
Silkworth Lodge’s residential rehabilitation uses the 12 step programme of recovery. It is tailored to each individual client and delivered on a one-to-one basis and in therapeutic groups.
Primary rehabilitation takes between 8 to 12 weeks in a safe and caring environment where each client is fully advised and other professionals consulted as appropriate. The treatment requires the client to commit to undertake the programme and challenge their behaviours with alcohol or drug use.
House rules include the requirement to abstain from alcohol and drugs except those prescribed by the Silkworth Lodge Medical Doctor.
Silkworth Lodge provides a pathway to a better life free from addiction. A new client can expect to be welcomed into a safe and non-judgemental environment, where there are professionals who understand and can help with this illness. Its so much more than maintaining abstinence, it is about regaining self esteem, rebuilding broken relationships, no longer feeling alone and developing healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
Aftercare
Clients are invited to attend aftercare sessions once a week when Primary Treatment is completed. This allows the group to discuss any issues they are facing and how they are getting on in general. The group are encouraged to give each other feedback and a counsellor is also present to provide guidance where needed.
