Redcar Albert Centre

The Albert Centre at Redcar provides help and support for those experiencing problems in controlling how much alcohol they drink.

Our service provides a tailored package of community based interventions to help our clients control their use of alcohol, or to abstain from drinking.

Assessments

Clients who are referred into The Albert Centre participate in a comprehensive assessment to identify how much alcohol they consume, level of dependency and any wider issues affecting how and why they drink.

Recovery

Clients are allocated to a case manager, who will work with them on a one to one basis to prepare and implement a recovery plan. Recovery plans are owned by the client and outline the main objectives that have been agreed and interventions to be provided.

Interventions

  • 1:1 Case Manager Support (Case managers are trained in a range of psycho social interventions including: C-BIT, ITEP & Motivational Interviewing).

  • CBT based self-help motivational tools: Worksheets and other exercises to support recovery

  • Information and Signposting

  • 1:1 counselling sessions: With trained counsellors.

  • Access to alternative therapies such as auricular acupuncture

  • Peer Led Recovery Groups:

  • Assertive Outreach

  • Advocacy

  • Educational sessions around alcohol awareness, health, stress, motivation, confidence and offending behaviour.

Aftercare

As alcohol use is reduced to a safe level, or abstinence is achieved - clients will prepare to exit the service and be supported through an exit package that includes bespoke guidance & information resource to assist in maintaining recovery and wellbeing. 

Our case managers will continue to liaise on behalf of their clients with agencies that will support their reintegration into the community.
