They say that two things that are certain in life are death and taxes, but an upscale clinic in Southampton has added rock bottom to the list and is actually doing something about it. The UK based Manor Clinic has an innovative program they call Prehab™ that allows those fighting alcoholism and other addictions to sign up in advance for treatment.
“PREHAB™ is a unique service offered EXCLUSIVELY TO YOU by The Manor Clinic as a fast track admissions service for entering residential treatment.
NORMALLY, following a confidential FREE 1:1 assessment by one of our Addictions Counsellors, you can decide to enter for treatment after all the necessary GP/Consultant/Funding arrangements are completed. This can take up to 7 days.
HOWEVER, some people may recognise they have a problem with alcohol abuse, but are not yet encouraged to make the decision to enter treatment.
The unique PREHAB™ service takes care of this by creating your own personal file, which is regularly updated by The Manor Clinic over a 12 month period.
You can then access treatment immediately by telephoning The Manor Clinic & quoting your own personal PREHAB™ registration number.”
Learn more here about this fascinating concept. In a way, it really does make since. Many alcoholics know that there life has become unmanageable long before they are willing to seek help. The main question I have, is pre-registering for treatment and the inevitable crash and burn equivalent to giving someone a free pass to drink themself silly? What if without the assurance of treatment the alcoholic would have sought treatment before a traumatic fall? What if they die during their descent to rock bottom?
