The BARN - Detoxification Services

Young Peoples Detox

If a young person requires detoxification from drugs or alcohol, the Barn will support young people through this process.

The service is available to any young person under 18 who requires detoxification.

We will undertake a holistic assessment of need and provide support around the detoxification process.

The Barn will refer to a consultant psychiatrist for medical detoxification and may sometimes refer out of county, depending on age and situation.
