The Naomi project is owned and operated by the Kenward Trust. The trust has several houses that provide supported living for people progressing from the rehabilitation programmes.
The Naomi project is situated in the centre of the village of Hawkhurst on the Kent/Sussex border. Locally it is known as “The Naomi Project at Highgate Hall”.
The Naomi project provides programmes of rehabilitation solely for women who are recovering from alcohol and other drug dependencies. The Naomi Project can accommodate up to nine women. At the time of our inspection, there were three female residents. The service took referrals from all over the UK for women aged 18 and over.
The Naomi project was registered with CQC on 19 April 2011 to provide the following regulated activity:
-
Accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse
The service provided holistic residential treatment that was delivered over a period ranging from 12 to 24 weeks. The programme included elements of the 12-step programme. The length of stay for clients was dependent upon assessed individual need and funding.
Clients can self-refer or could be referred by their local substance misuse agency. A client’s case manager would need to apply for funding from the local authority or the clinical commissioning group (CCG).
The current manager was registered with CQC on 20 February 2015.
The Naomi Project was last inspected on 29 December 2013 and met all the standards.
