Alpha House Calderdale offers a resettlement scheme for prison leavers and those with a history of substance misuse and offending. We also provide a service for those with a history of mental health issues. We do not provide an easy option and residents are expected to be serious about their recovery and rehabilitation towards independence and an industrious lifestyle.
We work in partnership with a range of service providers to ensure a complete wrap around service for our residents. This may include help with benefits and money management, help with making amends to family members and friends to restore relationships. Counselling to help with mental health issues or depression. We also work with our partners to ensure that our residents are able to get access into recovery programmes to address their addiction to alcohol or drugs.
We work with men who have often lost most of their belongings, their home, job, family and friends—and in some cases their dignity. Our aim is to help them to restore their lives and with the support they need, to go on to live independent, happy and prosperous lives. Recovering from addiction can be a long and difficult road and one that seems impossible. Alpha House staff have a lot of experience in dealing with addiction and recovery and helping people progress towards their personal goals.
Our residents are referred to us by a range of service providers from the criminal justice system, drugs services and housing providers. Prospective residents may refer themselves if they are known to services in Calderdale.
We begin by providing a full assessment of needs and assisting residents to access the services/scheme’s they will need to enhance their recovery and work prospects.
To be eligible to join the scheme a resident must be drug free and willing to attend an abstinence based day treatment programme and be committed to working towards gaining employment or accessing education or training.
Our hope is that all of our residents will benefit from our services and will move on to independent living arrangements. We will assist our residents to find a suitable home when the time is right and at this stage will provide floating support whilst they settle into their new home.
Our drug and alcohol treatment element is a structured therapeutic approach to recovery:
