“To provide an The
initial assessment is aimed at helping the individual to decide what
changes they want to make and the best way forward for them. They may choose for us to liaise with their
GP to facilitate a supported community detox, or they may prefer to
reduce their alcohol intake gradually over time.
If a community detox is chosen, the project will monitor the
physical symptoms on a daily basis wherever possible and liaise with
the GP in order to ensure the correct amount of medication is working
effectively. The
support of a group, all aiming for a similar goal, can be very powerful and
it can help individuals not to feel so isolated in their struggle. In these early days, the group sessions
focus on identifying internal and external cues, triggers and strategies for
cutting down. The group, itself,
provides support and a broad focus. It is really important to
wait for a physical assessment before a person begins to cut back or stop
their alcohol intake. Post
Detox the SWAN Project is committed to nurturing physical health. We aim to acknowledge and celebrate the
achievement of abstinence before moving onto the next stage of recovery. |
