Contacting MMS clinic and starting a stay at MIDAS residence are different decisions. The first task is to understand a person’s circumstances and needs, then discuss which form of support fits. This guide separates the roles of the clinic and the rehabilitation residence.
The first conversation is at MMS clinic
The initial rehabilitation consultation takes place at MMS clinic’s Labzak branch. It is an opportunity to discuss why you are seeking help, current difficulties and questions about the next step. You can begin with the issue that matters most to you, such as a return to substance use, gambling or difficulties with daily life.
Medical care and residential rehabilitation have different tasks. A comfortable setting cannot replace necessary treatment. Equally, completing an acute medical stage does not mean that every task of everyday recovery is finished. Ask what each proposed stage is for and how it connects with the next one.
What the programme involves
MIDAS’s adult programme follows an individual plan. Its areas of work include individual and group sessions, managing emotions, communication and everyday skills. Coordination between specialists helps address different needs within one plan.
Practical questions can make this easier to picture: what do I do during a difficult emotional moment, how do I ask for help, how do I discuss disagreement, and how do I organise my day? These examples explain the purpose of individual goals. They are not a promise of the same exercise or timetable for everyone.
The residential routine and work with specialists support each other. Alongside questions about rooms and the garden, ask about participation in sessions, free time and contact with family. The residence page shows the setting and photographs.
How the programme progresses
The broad pathway begins with settling in and understanding the situation. Work on individual goals, applying skills in daily life and preparing for the period after the stay follow. These are general stages, not a fixed calendar that everyone moves through at the same speed.
An approximate duration is discussed at the initial assessment. Stages may become shorter or longer according to needs, circumstances and progress. Moving to the next stage depends on readiness to use skills independently as well as time spent. Ask when and with whom your own plan will be reviewed.
Family involvement and support afterwards
Family work takes place with the resident’s consent. The purpose of a family meeting and the topics to be discussed are agreed. Participation does not give relatives access to every detail of individual conversations.
Before the stay ends, discuss ongoing support: which individual, group or remote options fit your needs and on what terms. Do not assume every possible option is automatically included in one package. Record whom to contact afterwards and which arrangements still need to be clarified.
Questions before deciding
“Why is this format recommended for me?”, “When will we review the plan?”, “What does the price of accommodation and services include?”, and “Whom can I contact when I am home?” are useful questions to ask. The admission and costs page brings together the practical matters to consider.
