Our view of the service

Our overall rating of this service is inadequate.

The New Life Centre is a residential service that offers medically assisted detoxification for

adults aged 18 and upwards, who are dependent on alcohol, opiates, stimulants, sedatives

and/or other prescribed or non-prescribed drugs. The service accepts statutory referrals

and privately funded people. They can offer a service to six people at any one time. At the

time of the inspection there were five people admitted to the service. The service was first

registered with the CQC in November 2021 to provide four regulated activities:

Accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse, diagnostic and

screening procedures, surgical procedures and treatment of disease, disorder or injury,

although surgical procedures were not being undertaken at the time of our visit. There was

a registered manager in post at the time we inspected the service. We have previously

inspected this service in December 2022 when we rated the service as 'Good' overall, with

'Good' in all domains apart from Safe, which we rated as 'Required Improvement'.
