Prior To Admission

Prior to admission, you will be contacted by one of our team to carry out an assessment of your medical and treatment needs to ensure that everything is ready for your stay. You will undergo a detailed medical assessment by one of our Doctors on your arrival, who will prescribe any medication required for your detox. Our doctor and clinical team will oversee your detox and will promptly address any concerns raised regarding your detox.

With our streamlined admissions process, you and your family will be taken care of every step of the way. Admitting to treatment doesn’t need to be overwhelming; in fact, many of our staff are in recovery and have been through rehab themselves, so they fully understand what you are going through and are committed to making things as simple and stress-free as possible.

Please call us, or chat to us LIVE with any questions you may have regarding admission to Oasis Runcorn.

Medical Assessment

Shortly after your arrival, you will see a qualified addictions specialist Doctor for a consultation. Our Doctor will conduct an assessment of your medical needs so that these can be addressed during your stay. Any medications you are taking you will need to bring with you. For those that have a drug or alcohol dependency, a full medical detox regime will be prescribed to assist with the detox process. We adhere to strict safety regulations ensuring your safety is paramount. Your detox will be monitored and supported by our fully trained staff for its duration. The team will work with medical staff and agencies to ensure you receive the appropriate care. If required a full assessment of any co-occurring existing illness will be arranged; we want to ensure you receive the correct treatment and medical assistance where required. Additional medication and vitamins may be prescribed in order to support your mental and physical recovery.

Any patient that needs a high level of urgent medical attention can be taken to the hospital to be seen and treated accordingly. Most complex detoxes that require 24/7 medical management, we can accommodate at our Bradford detox unit.

If you need to admit urgently support will be provided in terms of arrangements for work.

Oasis Communities Runcorn is a Care Quality Commissioned addiction rehab facility; we adhere to very strict policies and guidelines with regards to your safety, treatment and medical care at all times.

Your Stay

During your first few days of treatment with us, you will meet and work with our Counsellors and therapists. They will work with you to identify the underlying causes of your addiction. From there, your focal Counsellor will devise a full and comprehensive bespoke treatment plan. Your input into your treatment is valuable, so all goals and treatments will be pre-agreed by you so we can work together to help you recover fully.

If you are undergoing a medical detox with us, more intensive therapies will be delivered once you have finished the course of medication. During detox, you are likely to feel foggy and unfocused whilst the alcohol or drugs leave your system. You will still benefit from therapy and support delivered by our Counsellors, Therapists and Recovery Workers. Once your detox has been completed and you are able to think more clearly, we can then concentrate on your full mental, emotional and spiritual rehabilitation. Your individualised treatment plan will encompass a number of powerful and proven, effective addiction treatments, ensuring you receive the very best and advanced in cutting-edge addiction treatment care. Furthermore, you have a choice of a programme to follow. The benefits of both will be fully explained to you by your Counsellor who will assist you in making the correct decision for your recovery

Sober Transport

Many patients, who wish to admit to our clinic, find themselves in a position of being unable to drive due to a drug or alcohol dependency. We admit clients from all over the UK, and even overseas. Taking this into account, we provide sober transportation for those that need it. We do not expect you to turn up sober, as stopping alcohol or drugs suddenly could have devastating effects on your health. Our sober transport driver is able to collect you from any location and deliver you safely to our care They will also assist you with packing and ensuring your property is secured before you leave. They are trained to help keep you calm during your journey and provide a friendly and professional service at all times.
