St Anne’s Community Services – Alcohol Services is a detoxification service and a residential rehabilitation service. It is located in the independent sector and belongs to a larger charity called St Anne’s which provides services for people with mental health issues, leaning disabilities, substance misuse and homelessness. The alcohol service, based in Leeds, provides treatment to men and women over 18 years of age.
The service is separated into:
- A five-bed detoxification service which provides residential alcohol detoxification to adults who require a safe and supervised place to withdraw from alcohol. This includes clients who are stable on substitute prescriptions for opiate dependency.
- An 18-bed residential rehabilitation service provides adults who have been experiencing alcohol-related problems with an intensive period of support to maintain abstinence from alcohol.
Clients can attend the detoxification service without attending the residential service, and vice versa. Clients can also attend for a detoxification from alcohol and then continue into the residential service. The referral route for both the detoxification and the rehabilitation services is through the community-based substance misuse services in Leeds.
The service had a registered manager in place at the time of inspection. The service registered with the Care Quality Commission on 15 March 2011. The service is registered to provide one regulated activity:
- Accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse.
Six inspections have been undertaken since St Anne’s Alcohol Services were first registered. At the last inspection on 24 July 2017 we found that St Anne’s Alcohol Services was not meeting all the Health and Social Care Act (Registration) Regulations 2009. We issued the provider with one requirement notice in relation to one regulation:
Regulation 18: Notification of other incidents. The provider had not submitted a notification to the Care Quality Commission following an incident of an allegation of abuse in relation to a service user.
