Residential Services for drug and alcohol treatment offer people who require multiple services a single service that responds to their needs in one comprehensive and coordinated treatment pathway. Residential Services offer a range of benefits to help people address problematic drug and alcohol use. People who use them are supported to identify the underlying psychological and social drivers of their behaviour and co-existing physical and mental health problems. Furthermore, residential services offer the ideal safe spaces for people to develop Recovery Capital, the skills, resources and relationships required to create positive life opportunities. Supporting people through a consistent pathway of care which features preparation, tailored residential treatment and aftercare can lead to sustained improved health, stable family lives and employment. One of the key benefits of residential services and pathways is the protection they offer to people with severe and multiple disadvantage who are at greater risk of being the victim of, coerced into, or otherwise involved in crime.
