Referral Process

St Marks has a contract to fund Managed Withdrawal (7 Days at any one time) also referred to as "Social Detox".  This bed is available to Nelson/Marlborough clients only.  At the time of allocating an admission date this will be discussed and, if utilised, the 7 days will be added to their programme duration.

Description

Managed Withdrawal (Social Detox) is available for Nelson/Marlborough clients only. This is a 7-day period and will be under the supervision of a Registered Nurse and Clinical staff. Clients utilising the social detox bed will be expected to participate in some of the programme sessions, however, each individual is assessed as to their wellness and the 7-day detox period can be a settling in and rest time for clients who have come directly to St Marks following a Medical Detox.
