Charter's treatment philosophy addresses the whole person in the context of their lives. Where possible, a day care treatment programme with us (with or without the supported accommodation option at Charter Primrose Hill) allows clients to experience early recovery alongside the challenges of daily living, rather than in the very safe but separated environment of a residential treatment setting. This enables our clients to develop a robust recovery which will serve them well in the future.
Our treatment programme is intensive, challenging and carefully individually tailored. We pride ourselves on the level of individual case management afforded to each of our clients. Whilst every addiction has elements in common – and indeed the experience of tackling difficulties alongside peers who are undergoing the same process is both inspiring and enlightening – every person is different, and at Charter the degree of attention paid to individual treatment programmes is one of the factors that sets us apart.
As well as affording our clients the ability to recover from addictions in a more 'real' environment than that of a residential treatment facility (although, for some, this remains the best option), our day care programme has the advantage of being more easily extended over a longer period than a standard 'stint' in a residential rehabilitation centre. This means that, as your recovery progresses, you can potentially reduce the number of days per week that you attend Charter, and return more and more to your life outside treatment in a staged and supported way.
For this reason, Charter is also an ideal 'continuation' treatment for those who have been through a period of treatment in a residential clinic. Many of our clients come to us in just this position. The programme has the advantage of being open-ended: many of our clients still come to see us for regular 'top up' days many months and even years after they took their first steps into recovery with us. This is an enormously valued element of our programme, and allows our clients the best possible chance of not only getting well but staying well.
One further advantage of day care is that it is also comparatively much more affordable than residential treatment – you will get more therapeutic work done for your investment in yourself at Charter than almost anywhere else.
