Why Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment?

"In-patient detoxification followed by residential rehabilitation is the most effective way for drug users to become drug free, if they are motivated to become drug free and this is the agreed objective."
D. Best et al, National Needs Assessment, quoted in the T4 Commissioning Guide, DoH/NTA/HO

"The clients in the residential programmes presented with some of the most severe problems and complex needs and these clients made some of the greatest treatment gains"
National Treatment Outcomes Research Study

The National Treatment Outcomes Research Study conducted by the National Addiction Centre reports that:

• Clients treated in residential settings achieve greater improvement in drinking behaviour than those in community programmes
• Clients in residential programmes are often the most disturbed and that these clients often made the greatest treatment gains
• Residential treatment produces quicker results: 90 day residential treatment is recognised as the threshold for effective treatment, as opposed to one year for methadone maintenance
