UKAT Group centres will continue to follow 
Built in 2009, Oasis Communities Bradford was originally commissioned by the Department of Health as the only detox unit of its kind in West Yorkshire. The 17-bedded detox unit is equipped to accommodate people with limited mobility and wheelchair users who can self-care and can make provision for some additional personal care needs.
Oasis Communities Bradford provides a safe, supportive environment, where clients can complete a physical withdrawal from drugs and/ or alcohol, or stabilise their use safely with medical support and within a specialist treatment setting.
All clients participate in a treatment programme including individual care plan development and reviews, group work and social activities. Working closely with referrers and with weekly support available for families and friends, much is done to help clients sustain the health improvements possible from treatment at Oasis Communities Bradford. Central to everything at the service is a person-centred approach where all interventions are based on individual need, circumstances and choices.
The Oasis Communities detox programme addresses the whole person – body, mind and spirit. A medically managed detoxification or stabilisation is supplemented by a wealth of group and individual sessions and talks to help provide maximum long-term benefit. Complementary therapies are also available and include guided relaxation and exercise.
