Residential Care
Services · In Development
A structured, 90-day residential model.
For clients whose recovery needs more than outpatient care can provide — currently in development, pending the physical facility.
Three clinically supervised phases
Once the residential facility is established, every resident will move through three phases — detox, treatment, and reintegration — each with a clear purpose and a clear next step.
Days 1–7 · Stabilise
Medical detoxification
- 24-hour supervision by a qualified nurse and physician
- Pharmacological management of withdrawal
- Daily vitals, nutrition, and hydration support
- Initial psychiatric assessment & treatment plan
- Family notification and intake support
Days 8–75 · Rebuild
Treatment & therapy
- Individual therapy, three times a week
- Daily group therapy and peer support
- Family therapy, every two weeks
- Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation
- Vocational skills: tailoring, cooking, small business, computer literacy
Days 76–90 · Reintegrate
Aftercare & follow-up
- Written personal relapse-prevention plan
- Family reintegration sessions
- Referral links: employment, housing, legal support
- Enrolment in a community aftercare group
- Follow-up at 30, 60, and 90 days post-discharge

What outpatient care alone can’t do
Clients with heroin dependence, severe alcohol use disorder, or poly-substance use need medically supervised withdrawal management — not something that can be safely done at home or through weekly visits alone. Without a residential option, clients are discharged back into the same environment that fuels relapse. This is the piece of the model Safeways is raising funds to complete.
