My loved one found this place and I’m so grateful that she did! She made a huge effort for me.
You will get everything you need if you want it – don’t waste the opportunity.
For me Cassiobury court will work for you but you need to work for yourself while you’re there – you won’t regret it.
I cannot praise Cassiobury Court enough. Each day was well structured and every group session was designed to give you different tools to sobriety. I learnt so much from all the therapists and key workers that were taking the sessions due to my lack of understanding of this illness. I was in a place where I was made to feel comfortable and no question were silly which encouraged me to dig deeper and ask questions around my illness and myrecovery.
Cassiobury Court approach to recovery, worked very well for me. It was not like Boot Camp. They actually gave me time to digest the information that was given and time to absorb what was said they kind of gave me the balance to learn, but also do every day life things, I also had time to reflect and focus on myself
I would encourage any newcomers to rehab to engage in many group sessions as they can and take out as much as they can out of these sessions the 12 step AA program was explained to me in such a simple way and gave me the confidence to work it.
I would like to give a special thanks to my key worker as she has helped me find a a new sober, Sam. My key worker from the start has been open and honest which has helped me with my recovery.
I would like to also thank all the staff at Cassiobury Court that have had an impact on my road to recovery.
A special thanks to the kitchen staff and the cleaning staff, as by them doing what they do gave me time to focus on myself and not have to worry about cooking and cleaning. The kitchen staff have made sure that I have been eating properly and have helped me build up my strength.
Overall, Cassiobury Court is the place to come to if in need of a medical detox or need to understand what is involved in recovery and give you the opportunity on how to get away from addiction It’s like being given a second sober life.
I cannot thank Cassiobury Court enough.
Going to residential rehab can be a big investment, so it’s important to know that it is the right option for you. Whether you need rehab should be based on how your substance use is affecting your health and everyday life. It might be useful for you, especially if you need clinically supervised detox, local treatment has not been effective or staying at home makes recovery efforts harder.
Knowing the signs of alcohol or drug addiction can help you identify sooner if you have a problem. This can allow you to get help before your situation worsens.
Common signs of addiction include:
Not all substances affect people in the same way. There are varying physical and psychological patterns of dependence, so different treatment approaches may be needed.
Substances we treat at Cassiobury Court include:
Our medically managed detoxification may be right for you if you are addicted to certain substances, but it is not always required for every substance or person. An assessment will help inform whether you need to detox.
Though socially acceptable to drink, continued heavy drinking can develop into a harmful psychological and physical dependence.
Signs that your relationship with alcohol has developed into a serious addiction include:
Though you may be ready to stop drinking, suddenly ceasing your alcohol intake can be medically dangerous if you are physically dependent. A medically managed alcohol detox can help you safely navigate through withdrawal in a safe environment with professional support.
There are two main options when it comes to addiction treatment: inpatient residential treatment and community-based support.
Residential rehab provides you with structured treatment in an environment away from familiar triggers and access to alcohol or drugs. You have the time to focus totally on recovery, working through a daily routine and surrounded by addiction professionals to support you.
Outpatient treatment in your community allows for flexibility. It can be appropriate for those with a lower withdrawal risk, in a stable family environment with a strong support system and able to attend regular appointments.
There are many free drug and alcohol services in Dorset. The council has listed organisations such as REACH and LiveWell Dorset as good resources in the community for those who are struggling.
Call Cassiobury Court today at 0800 001 4070 for a confidential assessment to help determine which treatment setting is right for you.
Knowing what’s ahead can help ease any worries. At Cassiobury Court, we offer personalised treatment programmes that are guided by finding the best path forward for you.
Our admissions process is simple but thorough. During your initial enquiry, we’ll get key information about your addiction, the severity of it, your detox needs, and your previous treatment history and from this, we’ll come up with a suitable treatment option.
Once an admission date has been decided and deposit paid, we can arrange travel if needed. Upon arrival, you’ll undergo a thorough in-person assessment, reviewing needs, risks and recovery goals to create a personalised care plan within 24–48 hours of arrival.
If you are physically dependent on a substance, detoxification is needed to help you end this dependence. For more effective recovery, detox should be followed by treatments.
At Cassiobury Court, we provide a medically managed detoxification that is designed to support safe withdrawal, helping you be as comfortable as possible during a stressful time.
Not everyone needs to go through detox, and whether you go through it depends on several factors, including:
The treatments you’ll take part in are dependent on your needs and recovery aims. Our range of therapies that you may take part in includes:
Alcohol or drug addiction can often occur with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression or trauma-related symptoms. During the admissions process, the assessment can help inform us as to whether you need more specialised support to treat both addiction and mental health problems simultaneously.
We take this considered approach to ensure that the treatment you receive doesn’t undermine any progress you make with your overall wellbeing.
Addiction does not only affect the person using substances. The effects will ripple out, impacting partners, relatives, carers and wider support networks.
We encourage family members and carers to be as involved in the recovery process as everyone agrees is best. To help relatives understand more about addiction and have a space to discuss their experiences and ask questions, we put on a weekly Family Support Group every Saturday.
The support we give may help families with:
Any family involvement will be dependent on your treatment plan and preferences.
We will help you prepare for a return to Ferndown whilst you are still at Cassiobury Court. During treatment, we will help you to engage with organisations such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous so that you are familiar with recovery communities before leaving.
With our aftercare services, we’ll help you with relapse triggers, coping strategies, healthier routines and provide continuing professional support.
Local drug and alcohol services in Dorset can also be a great source of support when you return to Ferndown.
Our aftercare support is provided for 12 months free of charge for those who complete a 28 residential treatment programme at our clinic.
Our team includes experienced counsellors, psychologists, and medical professionals specialising in addiction treatment and mental health. We are passionate about helping people overcome addiction and achieve their goals for a healthier and happier life.
We hold the highest professional standards here at our CQC-registered rehab centre. Our fully trained GPs, Physchiatristes, Support Workers, Counsellors and Mental Health Nurses can deliver a comprehensive rehabilitation programme.
