FIRST's Residential Rehabilitation programme is for individuals with substance use issues and is funded to provide assessment, preparatory work and ongoing support.

 

Referrals can be made through attending the Fife-wide triage drop-in clinics or through other appropriate services.

Those applying for residential rehabilitation need to be prepared to engage in a structured and intense programme of preparatory work.

​

​​

There are three elements to the service:

1. Assessment and preparatory stage where FIRST will look at current and historic drug and alcohol use, criminal activity, housing issues, social circumstances, family networks and support, involvement with other services and assess motivation for change.

2. Inpatient residential detoxification for six weeks followed by a twenty week residential rehabilitation programme with places purchased from a range of external providers selected on the particular needs of the individual.

3. On completion of the programme, FIRST staff will provide/arrange a comprehensive package of recovery activities to ensure the client leaving residential rehabilitation is fully integrated into local recovery services. 

​

During these three elements FIRST staff will also liaise with family members and arrange, in conjunction with the unit, for visits to take place over the period the client is in residential rehabilitation.
