SERVICE DETAILS
COVID-19 Update
Given the unprecedented situation we are all facing due to the Coronavirus NEDAC is changing the way we do things over the coming months. Our priority is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the people we support and our staff.
All staff are now working from home and our office has closed. The way we are supporting people has changed.
We are making alternative arrangements for supporting people. Rather than meeting face-to-face we will be offering phone or text support
As our office is closed you can get in touch by E Mail: mail@nedac.co.uk
We will continue to support people using our service to ensure they are following public health advice.
Our team will be contacting people directly with updates regarding their individual support.
At NEDAC we draw on skills such as counselling, empathy and active listening to encourage clients to believe in themselves, perhaps to overcome a sense of powerlessness, and to move the ‘locus of control’ to within them.
Support often happens alongside intervention by the GP (or CDPS), where a client might receive a prescription for methadone (to avoid heroin use and its associated dangers) or Librium for alcohol withdrawal, and we will provide support to gradually reduce dependency. Slowly, we get clients’ minds and bodies accustomed to less of the drug, if reduction is the primary aim.
