    Support and counselling
    Our skilled and experienced support workers offer advice, support and one-to-one assessments with the aim of assisting the client to alter their life and re-integrate themselves back into the community. 
     

    We have access to a wider network of support and can refer clients to other specialist counseling agencies (for example bereavement, domestic abuse...) We provide individually tailored aftercare, including a personal mentor, which adapts as clients progress in their personal development.

    Dual Diagnosis

     Some of our services work in partnership to provide expert support for individuals with a dual diagnosis. By understanding the relationship between mental health issues and substance reliance we are able to provide person-centred support for individuals with complex needs. CIC's experience in providing over two decades of support for individuals with mental health concerns ensures that we have the necessary expertise to provide holistic treatments for individuals with a dual diagnosis.

    Holistic Treatments

    CIC's Addiction services offer Bio-Physical Solutions (sometimes referred to as Black Box) an innovative detox treatment programme which involves non-invasive electro-acupuncture. This treatment provides an effective, drug free alternative to detoxification which reduces cravings for substances and restores normal sleep patterns.
