Service User Guide
The object of Livingstone House is to provide a family environment where Service Users can access help for their addiction, using a Christian 12 Step Programme, in conjunction with any alternative therapies that support recovery. This will include providing detoxification for addictive substances in a controlled and medically supervised environment via an agreed clinically indicated detoxification protocol all facilitated within the Christian 12 Step Programme (talking therapy). 12 step therapy is based upon the 12 step programme originating from Alcoholics Anonymous.
Therapy is via group and a one to one process and will access any alternative therapy which is complimentary to the programme, i.e. healing by prayer, peer evaluation etc.
Service Users will have access to in house/local Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous/Overeaters Anonymous meetings and there are family groups which take place at Livingstone House at specifically arranged dates and prior to visiting. Following treatment, Service Users who have completed the programme benefit from aftercare for up to three months and if they are still abstinent, Livingstone House offer an open door policy.
Admission will be granted following assessment by staff at Livingstone House with follow up care planning as required.
Occupancy will be under the proviso that the Service User fully engages in the treatment programme and observes the terms of the Individual Service User Contract.
Termination of the contract will be either :-
•At the end of the agreed treatment term.
•By the Service User giving notification to leave against staff advice.
•The Service User being discharged due to contravention of their terms of Contract.
Fees are negotiable on an individual basis for private Service Users and are fully inclusive (accommodation, meals, therapy, assessment and medication plus aftercare, specialist GP input is provided by the NHS under the negotiated LES contract of which Livingstone House is part of).
