Do we take clients that are using prescribed medications?


Bushypark is a drug free centre so we do not prescribe drugs during treatment due to their addictive properties. However, we have taken some clients who are on prescribed medication as we recognise dual diagnosis. Each case is individually assessed and decisions made accordingly we cannot say yes or no at this stage. This is discussed in further detail at the assessment stage and in conjunction with the client’s GP or Psychiatrist.

Obviously clients who are medication for health related conditions such as heart, asthma etc are allowed to continue with use of same while in treatment.

The clinical psychiatrist that visits the centre each week meets clients on prescription medication prior to their admission for treatment to ensure that they are able to actively engage in the programme.
