The Brian
Hore Unit (BHU)
The unit offers abstinence-based treatment for people with alcohol
problems, including those with dual diagnosis (people with both
substance abuse and mental health issues), who live in Manchester.
Services available at the BHU include a drop in centre, daily
support groups, individual counselling, daily detoxification and
psychiatric treatment.
Dual
Diagnosis
The team manages the treatment of service users who have a history
of substance misuse and concurrent mental health problems. Services
are available at each inpatient ward within the Trust and in the
community.
Community Alcohol Team
The team provides city wide support for individuals aiming to
reduce, stabilise or become abstinent from alcohol. Appointments
take place on a one-to-one basis and advice is also given to family
members or unpaid carers who may have a right to a carer's
assessment. It is a completely confidential service which accepts
self referrals as well as referrals from GPs or health
professionals.
Further information about each service, including contact
details, are available by clicking on the links under 'Drug and
alcohol services'.
