About Us
Ty’n Rodyn offers a mixed gender residential rehabilitation programme for those who are motivated to maintain an alcohol and drugs free lifestyle. The unit accommodates seven residents who typically stay for up to six months. It is staffed 24/7 and provides a safe and supportive therapeutic environment and is regulated by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW).
The house is located in the thriving University town of Bangor in North Wales near to the Snowdonia mountains and miles of walkways and a beautiful coastline. The facility provides residents with a safe, abstinence based environment in which to follow a structured, person centred, therapeutic programme. Ty’n Rodyn staff and residents participate together as members of a social and learning community in a residential setting that offers 24 hour on site staff cover.
Ty'n Rodyn adopts a functional concept to drug and alcohol use. We do not see drinking or drug taking as a blind, helpless compulsion, but rather that people drink or take drugs to change how they are feeling. This process is both understandable and changeable.
Within the contract of support, the client is encouraged to develop a healthier lifestyle, establish goals and change their perception of both themselves and others.
Ty'n Rodyn is registered with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales.
