Individual and Group Counselling
Therapy occurs mainly in small groups, with individual counselling arranged as required.
Addiction is often a chronic and relapsing condition, so continuing care is a vital factor in the long-term success of recovery. Clients/whai ora are encouraged to attend continuing care for at least two years or 12-Step meetings. Research shows these offer the best recovery outcomes.
Education and Training
Sessions address the medical, social, and behavioural aspects of alcohol and drug dependency. The impact of addiction on the lives of clients/whai ora and their families/whānau is discussed and understood.
Family and Whānau
Hanmer Clinic recognises that addiction profoundly affects families, whānau, and significant others. We adopt a person-centered and whānau-centred approach to care. We focus on client/whai ora needs and goals and encourage input from whānau.
Costs
Participation in any of the recovery programmes is free and funded by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand.
Staff
Highly experienced and qualified drug and alcohol counsellors, with administration support, staff the programme in a warm and welcoming environment. In addition, the programme refers to medical and other professionals as required.
