Archived: Fulstone House

Other treatments on offer at Fulstone House include the Dependency Emotional Attachment Programme (D.E.A.P). This is an abstinent based substance misuse treatment programme based around the cycle of change.

A pre treatment engagement known as Reduction and Motivation Programme, (R.A.M.P) is also provided. This programme is aimed to motivate people to reduce their drug/alcohol use, whilst advising and motivating people who may be considering abstinence.

Qualified counselling staff are employed at Fulstone House to work with people who use the service in group work and a one to one basis.

We spoke to people who were currently engaged on the 12 Step Treatment programme many of whom had also engaged in the R.A.M.P programme.

People spoke very positively about their experiences of the service and of the treatments provided.

One person told us that they believed that the treatments, therapies and support they received from counselling staff employed at Fulstone House had saved their life.

Other people told us that counselling staff were very supportive and that the treatment could at times be "heavy going", "Exhaustive" and 'very painful', as they were asked to explore their reason for addiction.

People told us that through the group work they developed close bonds and support networks with each other and some people who were nearing completion of the program had been asked to become "mentors" for people coming into the service.

People told us that they had initially tried the R.A.M.P programme and that this led them to commit to the 12 week step programme.
