The Programmes
Assessment – This is the first phase of accessing the programmes, where we assess the needs of the young person to establish if they are suitable for one of our programmes and if so which programme would best suit their needs.
Pre-Entry Group – This group is for young people who are experiencing problematic drug use, and need support to reduce their use.
Full-time Programme – This programme is to support young people who are stable in their drug use to work towards becoming drug-free.
Progression Programme – This programme is to support young people who are on a training/education programme (including school).
Aftercare – This programme is to support young people who have completed drug treatment and have moved on to employment/education/training.
Family Support Programme – This programme is designed to support family members of the young people who are experiencing drug problems.
