You are not alone

You are not the first person who has relapsed.

Hundreds of men and women have faced the same struggle, pain and suffering that you are experiencing right now.

Life Works can help you continue your recovery

By calling us on 0800 081 0700 you will be making a big step towards continuing your recovery and regaining the life that you deserve. The process will also be less daunting and mysterious than you may think. When you call, you will speak with one of our counsellors who will discuss your situation and the issues that you are facing right now. Our staff will be able to help you in a completely non-judgmental and confidential manner.

Whether you have completed treatment at Life Works, or somewhere else, we can help you. We will ask you a number of questions that will help to assess your needs, in order to recommend the most appropriate treatment for you right now - whether that is residential treatment, outpatient treatment, one-to-one therapy or onward referral to specialised services if we are not the appropriate service. Our counsellor will also be able to address any concerns or queries you may have around treatment.

This service is completely discreet and anything that you share with us will be in total confidence.

What happens next?

The next step is for you to call us and speak to one of our counsellors who will talk with you about your relapse, discuss in more detail the issues that you feel you need support with and the best treatment options for you right now.

When you come to Life Works, you can expect to be treated with respect, understanding and compassion. If we feel that we are not best placed to help you, we will suggest other treatment options. Ensuring that we offer the best possible care for each individual is paramount to us.

What will happen when I admit for treatment at Life Works?

If you have not received treatment at Life Works before, we will arrange for you to come in for a comprehensive assessment covering key medical, psychiatric and psychological issues with one of our dedicated primary counsellors.

You will then be introduced to the nursing team who will undertake an initial medical risk assessment of you. It is at this point that you can advise us of any medications you are currently taking including the name of the medication, the dosage and frequency administered, as well as the name of the physician who prescribed the medication.

Once the medical assessment is completed, we will then introduce you to your primary counsellor who will work with you personally throughout your stay with us.

We will also assign a ‘buddy’ to you. Your buddy will show you where things are and help you settle into Life Works.

If you have relapsed, please call us now on 0800 081 0700 or email us for more information to discuss how we can help you continue in your recovery.
