Therapeutic Leave

Therapeutic Leave is an alternative option than self discharge when a client can choose to give themselves space and time to re-evaluate and process just where they are on their recovery journey. They return home for a certain period of time, reflect on their behaviour and motivation and decide if they want to return to treatment and continue their journey. We have experienced clients who want to leave often regret their decision and want to come back but realise it's too late once the discharge procedure is complete. We ask clients to keep in touch with their care managers, check in regularly with us and do some written work on what is going to change and how and how we can support them to achieve this.
