One-Stop … CHELTENHAM ADDICTION & RECOVERY ADVICE (CATRA)
We follow a simple 4-point plan for those seeking advice today:
ONE – A chat – we are dedicated, experienced … we completely understand and we’re ready to talk as soon as you are ready.
You are welcome to leave your details here – we are happy to give you a call at a good time for you.
TWO – A Free and Confidential Assessment – those seeking a residential option, which is our area of
expertise, will often require a medical assessment. CATRA Advisors can do the first part – then we’ll
let your chosen clinic know all about you in advance, so you don’t have to cover the same ground.
As said above, we will conduct the initial assessment – so they will know lots about you before you arrive.
THREE – Day One in at Your Chosen Clinic – you’ll be settled in by a friendly face, typically a Recovery
Worker. You’ll see where you’re sleeping, and at this point, you’ll probably meet a medical
professional – the person you will talk to about your detox requirements.
Home to Clinic – transport typically provided – call us today and we shall advise based on your
needs, budget and location.
FOUR – Leaving your Clinic – CATRA is there for you.
Need a lift? We can help you.
Transport from your chosen clinic back home is sometimes a necessity – not everyone is able to drive
themselves, so don’t worry … if this is something you need, it’s all taken care of.
Our addiction advisors are passionate advocates of great addiction treatment – many are in recovery themselves.
TO SPEAK TO an Adviser, simply pick up the phone, and we’ll help you with your clean and sober
goals.
There is no shame in addiction – no one has ever chosen to
be addicted to anything. You are certainly not alone.
