Further Information:

Drug and alcohol misuse can have a devastating effect on young people and how their future looks. It also affects their family and their community. But it’s not simple or straightforward to change this.

The countywide Service, funded by Hampshire Drug & Alcohol Action Team, offers a range of support based on the needs of young people, and has a multi professional staff team of 15 including Specialist Support workers, Social Work Qualified Workers, Parent & Family Workers, Mental Health Trained Nurses and prescribing services.

 

24/7 offers the following:

• 24/7 Emergency Referral & Crisis Line for young people

• A confidential service for young people aged 19 and under

• A prompt response before their motivation falters and problems get worse

• A harm-reduction approach which informs young people about the effects of drug and alcohol misuse and the risks involved

• Individually tailored help based on an assessment of each young person’s needs

• Specialist support for mental health problems

• Access to our education, training and employment specialists to open up new opportunities

• Help for the family so they’re better able to support the young person • Access to prescribing and needle exchange services

• Access to alternative therapies

• Social work qualified staff

• Access to mentors and aftercare

 

How we work

When we receive a referral, we will let the referring agency or individual know which of our staff is leading on the case and make sure we have the most up-to-date information. From then on we’ll meet the young person within five days. As you’d expect we’ll carry out a thorough assessment and find out about the problems he or she faces with drink or their drug use, their other problems and where they want to get to. From this we will agree a care plan with them that will guide our work. They’ll get a dedicated worker but the whole team is on hand to help them with a variety of issues and of course focus on their education options, enabling them to learn, get into training or paid work. At all times we will keep in touch with you so that you are aware of their overall progress (in line with confidentiality) but if you need any information please contact the Service and we will do our best to assist you.

 

Confidentiality

The young people we work with need to feel safe in the knowledge that they can speak confidentially to us about the problems they are facing. At the same time we value working with other professionals so we keep the referring agency, and others involved in the care plan, informed of the young person’s attendance, the type of work we’re doing and his or her overall progress. We also have protocols in place which enable us to pass on information with regards to risk and/or safeguarding. Depending on the consent that the young person has given we are sometimes able share more information with the other agencies involved.

 

Referring and contacting the Service

The Service works from two bases, Fareham and Basingstoke (Basingstoke due to be on line by August 09). Anyone can refer, including the young people themselves.

Referring is simple - please use one of the options at the top of this listing.

 

Feedback

We value your feedback, whether you are a young person, parent or carer, professional or anyone else who may have referred the young person. When we plan to close the case we will let you know and discuss any further concerns that you have, and also ask you to complete our feedback from. You will also be able to leave feedback on-line soon - a link will appear shortly.

ANA

Contact ANA:

History:

Ana provides Tier 4 residential 12 step treatment for those reliant on drugs, alcohol and gambling.

ANA has been providing services in Portsmouth for the past ten years.  Beginning small, The Organisation has grown to offer 30 Primary beds and 17 Secondary beds.  In January 2007, ANA relocated its Primary Treatment Service to Fleming House in Farlington, achieving CSCI registration as a Care Home the following May.

Current Activities: 

ANA offers a twelve week abstinence based primary treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction. In addition we offer individually tailored detoxification programmes. Our aim is to help our clients rebuild their lives, to gain in confidence and self-worth and to really believe that they can live a healthy, responsible and productive life, free of addictive substances.

Our Programme is modular, flexible and features increasing levels of choice and opportunities for personal development as clients progress through. We recognise that every client has different needs and will move individually through treatment and into recovery.

ANA facilitates recovery through support and respect, working in collaboration with our clients. Care planning, group work and one to one key worker sessions all feature, together with a life skills programme, women & men’ groups, alternative therapies and optional secondary programme. Our programme combines a number of philosophies including the Twelve Step approach and is non-denominational in nature.

ANA runs Primary treatment from Fleming House in Farlington and Secondary treatment from Lyle House in Southsea. This configuration enables our clients to gradually experience life without drugs/alcohol in an everyday setting that is pro-actively managed to fully protect them at all times. ANA welcomes clients from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Future Plans:

ANA is currently working towards the accreditation of its Treatment Programme through The European Association of Treatment Agencies (EATA).  Further plans include expansion of the range of activities available across both programmes and an increase in Secondary Capacity.
