OUR REHABILITATIVE PRINCIPLES

We promote participation in non-alcohol related pursuits, which are offered on the unit as well as within the local community.

We offer structured personal hygiene routines, memory work such as diary keeping and crosswords.

We have standards as regards the prescription of thiamine, assessments, terms of residence, medical management and key working systems.

We have access to specialist alcohol practitioners within the local community which we access should the service user require this element of support.

Our whole care programme is designed to assist the individual to lead an alcohol free life once discharged from us.

We believe that the individual's family and friends are fundamental to the person's recovery and we always encourage this at every opportunity.

We believe in a fully trained and supported workforce, who is empowered to work with individuals on a one to one basis as well as in group settings.
Referral criteria

Champion Crescent takes referrals from all over the country. We tend to advise referrers that people who they refer must have a formal diagnosis of the condition and that the condition must not have been present for longer than 3 years, although we have had success with people who have had Korsakoffs for many years.
