Braintree
The Mid-Essex service started in Chelmsford, working from the statutory alcohol & drug centre ‘Changes', in Chelmsford.
On March 21st 2005 we opened our own premises at 9 Coggeshall Road in Braintree - our third at the time. We still offer a service in Chelmsford providing keyworking, counselling and auricular acupuncture for one day per week. All body therapies are available at our Braintree site.
Our Braintree centre now serves the Braintree District - with other services in Mid Essex available in Chelmsford and Burnham-on-Crouch. Referrals are received from various professionals including, other agencies, GPs, hospitals, prisons, as well as self referrals.
The services provided are information and advice, assessments, 1:1 keyworking, counselling and a range of body therapies. We also offer our Client Welfare Service for help and support with finances, including debts, housing and rent and support maximising income. Our Client Welfare Service links up with the Community Integration service to support individuals that have been through a treatment programme. This can include further one to one support, group work and help gaining skills, training, education and employment opportunities.
