Residential Program & Accommodation

Why residential care?

 

 

Residential treatment stands out as the most impactful approach for addressing trauma and stressor related disorders, substance misuse disorder related to alcohol or drug use and mental health disorders, due to its immersive environment. Beyond providing necessary detoxification and medical supervision, it’s particularly effective for individuals seeking refuge from high-risk environments.

The Highlands Residential Program provides a compassionate and evidence-based approach in a luxurious facility designed for healing and recovery. Through personalised support, proven techniques and immersive experiences, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

By immersing oneself in a supportive and therapeutic setting, individuals can harness the power of their surroundings to embark on a transformative journey towards lasting recovery.

Length of stay

Our client’s journey is carefully crafted at Highlands for optimal recovery and long-term success. With a minimum stay of 28 days, we ensure comprehensive support and guidance from their first day. Recovery is an ongoing journey; as such, our Aftercare Program extends for twelve to twenty-four months, offering continued support as clients transition back into their daily lives. Each journey step is tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring every client receives personalised attention and resources necessary for lasting wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Determining the suitability of residential care for addiction involves considering six key dimensions. Firstly, ongoing intoxication and withdrawal suggest a need for detox or residential care. Secondly, the presence of biomedical conditions like liver problems or malnutrition may require residential treatment. Thirdly, severe behavioural, cognitive, or emotional conditions, including co-occurring mental health disorders, may necessitate residential care. Fourthly, readiness to change, assessed through motivation testing, helps identify those suited for residential programs. Fifthly, relapse potential is often addressed through behavioural medicine, indicating the need for residential treatment. Lastly, the recovery environment plays a crucial role; a purpose-built environment can maximise safety and stability, especially when external factors like family dynamics hinder recovery. If you are experiencing one or more of these key dimensions, then our residential program may be suitable for you.
