Q - Do I have to be clean to enter the program?

A - Whilst we do not expect you to be substance free at your assessment, we will rearrange the appointment if we deem your level of intoxication to be extreme. However, all new residents must be alcohol free upon admittance to the program. Dependent upon which substance and quantities, individuals maybe admitted to do their withdrawal in Studio, this will be discussed during assessments. Drug and alcohol testing will be done upon arrival.
