Admissions

We accept patients aged 16 and older from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe and further afield. We have successfully admitted patients from all social spheres, economic backgrounds, races and religions.

We invite all potential patients and their families to visit our hospital or contact us by phone to discuss any individual concerns and needs prior to making a decision to proceed.

Arranging Admission

Our admission procedure is easy. To attend our opiate detox programme we require the following:

• A referral from your GP
  • We have a prepared referral form available. Simply download the referral form and give it to your GP to complete on your behalf.
• A Supervisor
  • Patients are advised to nominate a family member, partner or other supportive person to act as their supervisor. This person can help to motivate them following discharge and monitor the daily dose of naltrexone. Your supervisor MUST NOT be drug dependent.
• Aftercare Counselling
  • We strongly recommend that patients plan ahead for aftercare counselling as we believe that this will increase their chances of long-term freedom from drug addiction. We provide 12 weeks aftercare telephone support and we are also happy to provide information about addiction recovery groups, counselling agencies or private counselling services in your area.

We usually make an admission decision within 24 hours of receiving your referral and most patients begin treatment within 5 working days. Admissions usually take place on a Monday ensuring that all patients are on the same drug detox schedule.
