South East Alcohol and Drug Services
Community Residential Drug Withdrawal Unit
The South East Alcohol and Drug Services (SEADS) Community Residential
Drug Withdrawal Unit (CRDWU) is an important component of the range
of services offered by SEADS to clients who believe that they have an
alcohol or drug problem. It is a 12 bed in-patient alcohol
and drug withdrawal unit providing a 6 day medically supported withdrawal
service for adult clients from the Southern Region. Our service
is delivery is based on the Unit Philosophy which states that we believe
that:
Any person can develop problems from the use of alcohol and other
drugs – regardless of differences of race, gender, religion and
social and individual circumstance
In the pursuit of help for these problems people are entitled to
confidentiality, a safe and supportive environment and equal access
to treatment;
Alcohol and other drug problems involve the many aspects of a person’s
life – such as the physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual
and social. Our treatment program is therefore holistic in approach
to best benefit each client;
Effective treatment is based on the individual’s decision to choose
change and growth, and that the benefits of the resulting new behaviours
and ideas are sustained by on-going learning, adaptation, communication
and integration into their chosen lifestyle.
