Homeleaves

This week, we have been supporting clients who are going on weekend home leaves. This usually happens around the half way mark in clients treatment journeys so they get a feel of what it may be like when they return home after completing treatment here at Somewhere House. Preperation includes compiling an itinerary, organising travel, notifying families and offering support for the stay, relapse prevention and a home leave diary to be written and then reflected on upon return. This is, of course, a vulnerable time for our clients but we believe that it is pivotal for them to reintegrate back into their local communities if appropriate to do so. Clients who do not have a safe environment to go back to are offered the opportunity to have a home leave in one of our move on properties in the local community for the same process.
