Residential rehabilitation pathways: lived experience interviews
Explores pathways into, through and out of residential rehabilitation from the perspective of those with lived experience of having accessed residential rehabilitation. Part of a wider suite of research exploring residential rehabilitation across Scotland.
Footnotes
1. Two of these nine interviews are pending transcription by APS Group Scotland - APS website (theapsgroup.com) – and were not available for analysis within the timeframe of this report. Following their transcription, a revision to include these may be published in due course.
2. One of these individuals was in the process of attempting to access residential rehabilitation through statutory pathways but had not, at the time of interview, gained a referral or access.
3. Residential rehabilitation was defined, as in the mapping report, as facilities offering programmes which aim to support individuals to attain an alcohol or drug-free lifestyle and be re-integrated into society, and which provide intensive psychosocial support and a structured programme of daily activities that residents are required to attend over a fixed period of time.
4. Due to specific challenges around recruiting participants still engaged in problem alcohol and/or drug use, it is important to note that the participants interviewed for the purposes of this report broadly reported positive experiences of rehab.
