Support Services
DAF currently offers free Support Services for clients on the following days:
- Mondays from 12.00pm until 2.00pm
- Fridays from 1.00pm until 4.00pm
These services were developed in response to clients asking for more support either side of the weekend.
The Support Services are run by trained members of DAF's clinical team. The aim is to provide a safe place for clients who are already attending DAF services to meet with other clients. This ultimately helps to reduce their social isolation, but is also an important way of improving an individual's social skills in an informal setting. The services are also available to all clients for eighteen months after they have completed their treatment.
Clients who attend the Support Services have access to:
- computers
- the Internet
- detox and herbal teas
- monthly auricular acupuncture
- a healthy lunch
- monthly Service Users Involvement meeting
- books and magazines
- games
