Treatment and Alternative Therapies

Way Beyond Blue – Community Based Rehabilitation Service

Our innovative therapeutic day and life skills programmes are designed to assist and support people to overcome their problems with alcohol and substance use. The interventions are designed in such a way that individuals can enter and leave at levels suitable to their needs and wishes. They also allow for people to “step up” or “step down” as their identified needs change. This allows the person receiving the service to effectively lead on their requirements. The programmes are particularly helpful to those people who have decided they want to make positive changes to their lifestyle.

Every individual receives a personal development plan designed to map out their progress and experiences as they move forward with their lives on a path towards change.

Interventions
Our intervention programme range from one to one activities (exploring thoughts, feelings, future goals and values) through to group work, looking at change management and relapse intervention.

We use a variety of therapeutic interventions and alternative therapies, according to the needs and wishes of every individual. These include:

  • Brief interventions such as harm reduction advice, crisis intervention and guided self help
  • Extended Brief interventions such as 1-1 support, social Behaviour Network Therapy and Motivational Enhancement Therapy
  • Structured Psychosocial Interventions such as Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Relapse prevention and CBT Stress management. (these include group programmes)
