Services

ADS Bennett House – Residential House

Information about this service

We are an abstinence based residential service, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our service is available to men aged 18 to 65 whose lives have been severely affected by their misuse of alcohol.

On admission, clients are allocated a key worker for weekly one-to-one sessions working on practical, emotional and psychological issues.

Social Activities

There are many weekly social activities on offer and every year we take part in an sponsored walk and go on a short activity holiday in the lake district.

Education

We provide assistance to develop skills including budgeting, cooking and returning to work, where appropriate. We also have access to a wide range of educational and voluntary services in the community.

How do I apply?

Referrals can either be made directly to the Project Manager or by your representative, e.g. Alcohol Worker, Social Worker, Probation Officer, Doctor or Hospital Staff.

What happens when we meet?

You will be asked to attend the project for an assessment interview. The purpose of this is to find out what you want and need, and to establish whether Bennett House is the best environment to meet those needs.

A decision will normally be made on the day of the assessment and an admission date, or approximate waiting time, will be given.

Structured Therapeutic Group Programme

Sessions take place in a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can feel secure. Residents participate in a wide range of groups – therapeutic, educational and social.
