Addiction Service

Today

8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Description

Our service is for tāngata who are experiencing harm as a result of their alcohol and or other drug use, primarily through residential treatment options for tāngata in support of their recovery and wellness journey.

The programme takes a holistic approach to recovery, utilising concepts of Māori healing and tikanga, family and whānau engagement and community supports. The programme is typically 8-10 weeks of length and offers opportunities to embrace recovery by living with others in 4 to 10 bedroom houses /whare; participating in group work and having a case worker and a peer worker available to support you individually. We also offer continuing care following completion of the programme, or referral to other services and supports.

We are part of the wider Salvation Army network of support services. This means that we can link you in to additional services that provide support, such as budgeting advice, food banks, social work, parenting courses and some limited emergency housing. See the Salvation Army website for more information.

Residential Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Service

This service provides residential support and treatment for people who are experiencing significant harm as a result of their own alcohol and or other drug use and cannot be treated in less structured or supported settings. A range of options are available dependent on your needs. Our purposeful, whole of life, person-centred, caring approach combines four key elements; Partnership: You will be in a purposeful relationship with the treatment team as you move along your own personal path to recovery. Community Reinforcement Approach: We go beyond education and advice to coaching and practice. Where practical, family and friends are encouraged to participate in your treatment plan. 12 Step Recovery Journey: The 12 Step approach suggests that the recovery includes a distinctly spiritual journey from a life of confusion and grief to a place of serenity and peace. The Salvation Army: The Salvation Army in Aotearoa New Zealand seeks to offer an evidence-based, best practice treatment for people moderately to severely affected by their harmful use of, or dependency on alcohol and / or drugs as a practical expression of its Christian based love and concern for all people in the community.
