Residential Rehab

You will be given the opportunity to explore if this is the right option for you and the type of rehab you may want to attend.
08
Fibroscan
Brent New Beginnings offer fibroscanning to all alcohol service users accessing the service in Brent.
A Fibroscan is a type of scan that can measure the ‘stiffness’ of your liver, which in turn reflectsthe degree of scarring in your liver (fibrosis).
It is a simple, painless test which gives immediate results. It does not have any potential complications or risks and is non-invasive, which means that it does not break the skin or enter your body.
Having a Fibroscan will help your doctor/nurse understand the condition of your liver and if there is any scarring (fibrosis) present. This will help them to plan your care and treatment.
