People can refer themselves into the service, or may be referred by a variety of health and social care professionals. This can be done by telephone, letter or by calling in at Kierby Walk.

Burnley Community Alcohol Service provides a range of interventions including advice, information, assessment, one-to-one sessions and a range of group activities. We have three Community Detox Nurses who provide a home detox service for those who have developed a dependency upon alcohol and need assistance in coming off alcohol safely. For people with more complex needs, we are able to refer directly to in-patient detoxification facilities. In addition we work in partnership with social workers from Lancashire’s Social Services Substance Misuse team on behalf of clients who require a more intensive longer term response and need to access residential rehabilitation units or structured day care programmes.
First of all you will be offered a triage assessment. At that appointment you will meet with one of our project workers and look at what you want and what your needs are. Together, we will help you develop a plan which will identify how you are going to address your alcohol problem by setting some targets and by outlining what you need to do in order to achieve them. You will be appointed a key-worker who will support you in fulfilling that plan by providing one-to-one sessions and/or by helping you to access sessions in our group work programme. We may also sign-post you to other agencies who may be able to help you around other issues you need to address.
Our group work programme offers a menu of options which provides support and structured work-shops on developing a range of skills and knowledge. We also provide Auricular Acupuncture. For people who are concerned about somebody else’s drinking we have a Family Support Group which meets once a month.
All group work sessions take place in a supportive, alcohol free environment in which you can feel safe.
This service is based within designated primary health care surgeries in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale. Clinics are held on a weekly basis offering one-to-one appointments with one of our project workers. Referral into this service is either via a health care professional based at your surgery or through Bull Street.
Funded jointly by European Regional Development Fund and Burnley Community Safety Partnership, this team works with people who live in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale who have, or are at risk of offending due to their alcohol use. The service works in partnership with a range of agencies involved in the criminal justice system ie Police, Probation. The team also offers brief interventions to those who have been given a Conditional Caution due to alcohol related offending.
