General Information: Opened in June 1996, Walsingham House is an established residential treatment resource for people with a history of homelessness who have addictions. The treatment programme is based on an abstinence model. Over the last 10 years it has developed a reputation, both locally and nationally, as a well respected treatment facility. We are committed to providing high standards in all areas and support the QUADS organisational standards for Alcohol and Drug treatment services. We are members of EATA (www.eata.org.uk) an organisation committed to providing appropriate and high quality treatment for people with addictions. Referrals are now only accepted from appropriate drug and alcohol agencies who also have access to funding. These are usually Social Services, Criminal Justice & Probation Services or Drug Action teams. Close working partnerships have been developed with these agencies. All clients have clearly identified Care Plans and these are reviewed regularly with the Care Manager. one to one addiction counselling; group therapy; general counselling and support; educational workshops; social & life skills; physical and emotional health development (general health needs, relaxation and meditation techniques, aural acupuncture, aerobics and nutritional needs); relapse prevention / management and families / carers support. Description of the Service: Ø Walsingham House provides individually tailored support and treatment programmes for people with addictions through an abstinence model based on the 12 step philosophy. Ø Treatment follows a bio/psycho/social approach and theoretical foundations are taken from a person centred and cognitive/behavioural framework as well as a motivational enhancement approach. Ø Clients are enabled to identify, make and sustain the changes that are essential to maintain a healthy and appropriate lifestyle and a quality of life which would otherwise be denied. Aims of the Service: Ø To provide appropriate and high quality support and treatment for people with addictions; Ø To promote abstinence from all mood altering substances as a goal; Ø To empower individuals to break the cycle of addiction; Ø To promote a way of life that emphasises honesty, trust, responsibility, respect and self-worth. Provision: Ø Pre-admission preparation and support; Ø Structured treatment programme for people with addictions; Ø General Residential support; Ø Group therapy; Ø Individual counselling; Ø Aftercare. All our counsellors have recognised national qualifications and are provided with clinical supervision regularly. We promote an abstinence model based on the 12 Step philosophy. However, there are clear theoretical foundations for our treatment programme. These are taken from a person centred and cognitive / behavioural framework. The Stages of Change model is especially relevant. Also, we find that a Motivational Enhancement approach is effective, especially in engaging residents in the early stages. Group therapy is based on an interactive, interpersonal model.

REGISTRATION AND FUNDING
Walsingham House is registered as a Hostel and an Accredited Supporting People provider by Bristol City Council. This enables individuals to access comprehensive general and housing support as well as treatment for their addiction. It leads to the provision of a more relevant and realistic service to meet the needs of the target group. This means that we do not provide a total package of care and treatment, as with the majority of residential rehabs, which is funded in traditional ways. Instead we separate the charges and the costs of treatment and housing/support but at the same time ensure that integrated programmes of treatment and support are collaboratively agreed with individual clients. We only charge the referring agency for Treatment charges and provide the housing and support from a different funding stream. Consequently in reality we are providing day treatment, but all round residential support which is funded separately. Therefore our charge for treatment – currently £420 per week – may seem very low. However, we will also be receiving around £200 per week from Housing Benefit and Supporting People, for the general support that we provide as a residential service, and £30 per week from each resident for their contribution to rent costs. See NTA Residential treatment Directory and Addiction Today web site for further information about Walsingham House. http://www.nta.nhs/residentialdirectory/index http://www.addictiontoday.org/treatment
We do accept a limited number of referrals for private funding and the rate in this instance is £550 per week. Please contact if you require further information.
