Adult Programs

It all begins with a call to our Intake office.

Our experienced Intake staff will complete a phone interview with each prospective client. This will determine suitability for our programs. Program Lengths are individualized to meet the goals of the individual and can range from 3 weeks to 12 weeks based on goals and needs. Factors such as whether or not the person has a job, a support system, history of compliance, relapses and breakthroughs will assist in determining the correct program.  The residential programs are gender inclusive, but men and women are separated for all groups, meals, lodging and program related activities.  Fraternizing is prohibited.  Brentwood retains the right to decline a client.  Please note, those who resides outside Essex, Kent, or Lambton counties are usually designated for the long-term program.

Aftercare

When a person completes the program, they graduate and become part of the Brentwood Alumni. Extensive Aftercare services are provided to the recovering alcoholic and their family. These services include counselling, family support groups and couples counselling. For out of town Alumni, are asked to connect with their Group Leaders if there are any “Brentwood Groups” in their area. Out of district Alumni are also encouraged to use other self-groups as part of their continuing aftercare.

Relapse

If an alumnus relapses the individual’s situation is assessed, and a determination is made as to whether they will be permitted to continue to attend aftercare or if they need to be readmitted to a program. In either case, if the client is permitted to attend aftercare or it, they are readmitted, it will be required that the client attends our Relapse Prevention Group.
