History
A newly converted detoxification unit born out of the amalgamation of
the Nelson and Highclere units June 2006, Baytrees offers an eclectic
range of structured therapeutic interventions together with a range of
medical regimes providing a supervised withdrawal from drug and
alcohol dependency.
In addition, we have
just introduced aromatherapy and other complimentary therapies to the
programme to engender a sense of change and self improvement, so that
patients have the 'tools' to lead meaningful lives, free from
addiction.
Current Activities
The current programme is underpinned by patient and carer involvement,
which is supported by a range of self hep groups across the twin
boroughs.
The Unit is also about to impose a no smoking policy on the 1st January 2008 – a leaflet will be produced detailing the interventions supporting the ban.
Future Plans
To set up a Carers' support group for family members/significant
others of patients undergoing the detox programme.
A sensitivity room is being built to provide specialist treatment to the patients.
A leaflet has been produced to inform members of the Black and Minority Ethnic Communities of the diversity elements of the programme.
