About Caribbean Haven Residential Centre (CHRC)
Caribbean Haven Residential Centre (CHRC)
The Caribbean Haven Residential Centre (CHRC) is a branch of the Department of Counselling Services (DCS) which also includes The Counselling Centre (TCC) and the Family Resource Centre (FRC). CHRC offers gender-specific detoxification and residential treatment services to men and women over the age of 18 who are legally resident in the Cayman Islands and are struggling to overcome addiction to mind-altering substances.
Individuals can expect a person-centered approach to treatment, which includes structure and support from a team of experienced professionals. Interested individuals may self-refer to this programme, or they may be referred by a medical or mental health professional, or the legal system. Persons seeking services typically begin with a 5-7 day detoxification in a non-medical Withdrawal Management Unit (WMU), and must first complete a phone screening with CHRC to determine eligibility for this service.
As the detoxification programme takes place in a non-medical facility, certain conditions or substance use may require a referral to a medical or mental health professional for clearance prior to admission. Screenings and admissions are available daily between 8am and 8pm by calling 947-9992. During detoxification, assessments will be completed to determine further treatment recommendations, either in the residential treatment programme, or with community-based services at TCC.
Length of stay in residential treatment is based on individual need, though the average is three to six months.
