"I never thought recovery was possible and now I'm living it. I will always be so grateful to Phoenix Futures for giving me my life back and now I'm looking forward to my future."

"I was feeling so depressed and was paranoid about meeting anyone. I was scared of the world and at my lowest point. I had been alone for so long that I didn't know how to interact with other people ... "I fully participated in the programme and this has enabled me to realise that there is so much more to life than drugs."

The Scottish Residential Service is a rehabilitation service for people with drug and alcohol problems. Established in 1994 the service caters for people with dependency problems from all over Scotland, providing a flexible abstinence-based residential rehabilitation and detoxification programme. Situated on the outskirts of the city centre, it offers easy reach of the city's facilities. A purpose build centre, the house accommodates up to 39 men and women aged 18+ who wish to take control of their drug or alcohol problem.

What does the Phoenix Futures Scottish Residential Service aim to achieve?

The service provides a safe, supportive and structured environment where residents participate in groups and one-to-one sessions to explore the underlying reasons for their dependency. Through a process of self-awareness and understanding patterns of personal behaviour, residents are encouraged to acquire new skills and formulate strategies that will enable them to develop a healthy, drug free lifestyle and return to independent living in the community.

What kind of help and services can I expect?

Participation in the Phoenix Futures Therapeutic Community programme helps to promote change by encouraging self-worth and personal responsibility, challenging individual attitudes and behaviour, and encouraging the development of life and social skills.

The service offers a comprehensive therapeutic programme delivered by fully trained and professional staff. This is provided within a residential setting, ensuring access to a range of health and social care support services to suit individual needs.
