The potential need for residential detoxification and/or residential rehabilitation is considered through discussion and ongoing work between the client and their key worker and, with permission, their family/carers. The key worker discusses the process and criteria for referral to residential detoxification and/or rehabilitation, together with details of different residential programs so the client can explore with support, which would be best for their needs. Support available within the community is also discussed as well as support and planning for post rehabilitation. With the Service Managers agreement an application is made to the Argyll and Bute Residential Rehabilitation multi-agency group where the key worker will discuss the funding application, following which a decision is then made and fed back to the service user.
