PHILOSOPHY

Treatment is entirely voluntary. No-one will be made to stay in the community against their will. Those most likely to benefit from the programme will demonstrate motivation to address their problems whilst living in a community and cooperating with others. Central to the approach at Littledale Hall is the belief that:

  • people who are active in their own treatment are more likely to make and sustain changes to address their substance misuse.
  • the therapeutic community offers an opportunity to develop and maintain a positive living environment that supports residents to change
  • the responsibility for treatment is shared by staff and residents.

    • This approach is based on a clear shared understanding of roles, responsibilities and decision making. The collaborative and democratic style of treatment is an essential part of community life at Littledale Hall. For many residents this may be the first time their views have been respected and taken seriously.
