Rehab News:Waiting times for alcohol rehabilitation slashed
Increased funding for staff at
alcohol rehab centres in Bolton has cut the waiting time for those seeking treatment for alcohol problems to under two weeks.
Those seeking
alcohol treatment services in Bolton previously faced waits of up to six months, the Bolton News reports.
Deborah Harkin, deputy director of public health for Bolton Primary Care Trust, said: "We had really long waiting lists and knew something needed to be done.
"We wanted to be able to get the waiting lists down so people could access help quicker and have really worked hard to achieve this."
Now those seeking treatment wait no longer that two weeks and everyone referred for treatment, even those referring themselves, are sent to the Alcohol and Drugs Service (ADS) where they are seen by a triage nurse within 48 hours.
Patients are then assessed according to risk as those identified as alcoholics are referred directly to the Community Alcohol Team, where they are placed into hospital, residential or community rehabilitation.
In addition, extra nurses and a psychologist have been employed to administer alcohol treatment to the 700 people who require it in Bolton every year, further driving down waiting times.
