Admission to Shardale Alcohol Rehabilitation Community
When an individual arrives to live at the Shardale,
they are, without delay, registered with the local general practitioner
who will oversee their primary health care needs throughout their stay.
If a service user is in need of a liver function test or blood borne
virus screening, this will be arranged. It is essential for any
individuals who are on medication to bring with them at least one weeks
supply.
Shardale adheres to an equal opportunities policy to ensure that all
service users are treated as individuals always mindful that each
individual has different needs. They will be treated equally regardless
of their gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, disability or
religious belief. Specific arrangements will be made to enable people to
continue to observe their religious practices.
There will be continual dialogue with people regarding diet and other
cultural factors where relevant. Due to the lay out and structure of the
building, individuals who have mobility issues will need further
assessment to identify if established service provision at Shardale can
cater for the individuals needs.
Individuals who live in Shardale will have their privacy and dignity
respected at all times. When members of the community are sharing
bedrooms there will be privacy through the provision of curtains or
screening. Bathrooms and toilet facilities provided are for individual
use only. Each person will have their own private storage areas for
personal effects and clothes. Lockable facilities can be provided for
valuables. Shardale staff will maintain strict confidentiality for every
community member and restrict access to individual’s records in an
appropriate way.
There will be routine breathalysing or drug testing which will be agreed
in advance as an objective, precautionary measure to assess if alcohol
or drug misuse has occurred if individuals are returning from specified
activities such as weekend leave for example.
