Pre-Admission Screening

Establishing early in the process which treatment strategy is going to best suit the individual is vital. This is why you will undergo a pre-admission screening. During this consultation, we will ask some questions to analyse your physical and psychological health as well as your current circumstances and alcohol/drug consumption levels. This consultation will allow us to provide a bespoke treatment programme which will enhance your recovery.

Like all NHS-registered medical facilities, we follow strict protocols in regard to data protection, and all information given to us will be kept confidential and only used to help us find the right treatment programme for you. The screening will take approximately 20 minutes and can be done either over the phone or face-to-face, if you prefer.

Once we have completed the screening the admissions team will suggest all options available to you, if you agree, an admission date will be decided at your chosen addiction treatment centre. You will be given a guide on what to bring at this point.

Treatment Deposit

To secure your placement within treatment we do require an initial deposit. There are a number of ways you can make this payment. Debit or Credit Card*, electronic Bank Transfer or Cash. Unfortunately, we cannot accept cheques for deposit payments.

*You will be required to confirm you are authorised to use the card. As you are the cardholder, or the cardholder is present.

Please also note deposit payments are not fully refundable. You may choose to change your mind in advance of your admission date. The company reserves the right to exercise its refund policy in these circumstances. For more information about our refund policy, please click here (Need to find out if this link exists)
