Residential rehabilitation consists of a range of treatment delivery models or programmes to address drug and alcohol misuse, including abstinence drug interventions within the context of residential rehabilitation. There are three broad types of rehabilitation provision:
•Rehabilitation programmes based on Social Learning Theory
•12-step programmes based on the Minnesota Model of addiction recovery treatment
•Faith-based therapeutic communities.
Residential rehabilitation providers may also manage (‘second stage’), or have access to, substance free supported accommodation where a client moves after completing an episode of care in a residential rehabilitation unit and where they continue to have a care plan, receive key work and a range of substance and non substance related support.
Residential rehabilitation programmes normally combine a mixture of group work, psychosocial interventions and practical and vocational activities.
The modality / intervention start is the date of admission to a residential establishment or the date on which the detoxification element is started (if detox and rehab are being provided as one package).
