Substance misuse support at Serveco
Substance misuse refers to using substances such as drugs or alcohol in a way that causes harm to a person’s health and wellbeing. Over time, this can lead to dependency, where psychological, cognitive, and behavioural problems develop.
When someone is dependent, they may continue to use the substance despite the risks to their personal life, relationships, or safety. The effects of substance misuse vary from person to person, depending on their circumstances, behaviours, and the type of substance used. For example, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol regularly can result in serious health conditions, including alcohol-related brain damage.
How our homes support recovery from substance misuse
Residential care may not be suitable for everyone. Our supported living services provide an alternative for people seeking help with substance misuse without the need for full-time residency in a care setting.
Supported living enables individuals to live independently in their own home as a tenant, while receiving care, treatment, and support tailored to their needs. Our carers are trained to provide personalised, one-to-one support, ensuring that each person’s specific requirements are met. This approach allows individuals to make their own decisions about daily life while having access to communal facilities and social activities.
In addition to meeting healthcare needs, our supported living schemes help service users rebuild their lives and reconnect with the community. This support is particularly valuable for those whose addiction may have caused social isolation or disconnection.
