Northlands Addiction Treatment Centre

Referrals

Our referral process is designed to be straightforward and to ensure that individuals receive the appropriate level of care based on their needs. Here’s an overview of how the referral process typically works:

Initial Contact: Interested individuals or their families can initiate the referral process by contacting us directly on 028 7131 3232 where a member of staff will arrange an appointment for a preliminary assessment.

Assessment: A preliminary assessment is conducted by one of our skilled counsellors to determine the person’s specific needs. This involves a detailed discussion about their substance use history, mental health status, and any other relevant factors. We ask that you be at least 5 days alcohol/substance free before this appointment. We are request that a family member or close friend accompany you to this appointment.

Referral Sources: Referrals can come from various sources, including:
Self-referral: Individuals seeking help on their own.

Family or Friends:
Concerned family members or friends can refer someone who they believe needs treatment.

Healthcare Professionals:
Doctors, therapists, or other healthcare providers can refer individuals who require specialised addiction treatment.
Other Agencies: Social services or community organisations may also refer individuals to the center.

Eligibility and Admission:
After the assessment, our highly skilled and experienced treatment team will determine if you meet the criteria for our program. If so, an admission plan is created. This includes a number of preparatory steps that your counsellor will work through with you.

Our four main services

Residential Treatment

This involves staying at the center for a period of 6 weeks, receiving intensive therapy and support while focusing on recovery.

Non-Residential Programs

For those who don’t require residential treatment, outpatient options allow individuals to receive support through counselling, information and advice, while continuing to live at home.

Family Support

This can involve individual counseling, group therapy, and family therapy to address various aspects of addiction and its impact on personal relationships.

Aftercare Support

To help maintain sobriety and prevent relapse, we offer a 2-year aftercare service, including ongoing counseling and support groups.
