Programmes
In Christchurch this service provides residential and community-based services for people who are experiencing significant harm as a result of their own alcohol and or other drug use. A range of options are available dependent on your needs. On the West Coast and in Buller this service offers support in Greymouth and Westport via groups and some one to one support. For those outside of these centres telephone or video call support may be available if internet and cell connections allow. 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.
