Commissioners and partners

We know it’s important to offer effective treatment services that deliver great value. We have over 40 years’ experience of delivering services that really make a difference. With our holistic support, you’ll be able to help people on their path to recovery.

The innovative models we’ve developed can help you to achieve your outcomes. Here’s a few examples of how we can help you.

Our recovery model
We’ve developed a groundbreaking recovery model for drug treatment which we’re currently piloting in Birmingham. We’ve piloted our model for the past six months with over 300 service users (involving 15 different GPs) and we’re really excited with the changes they’re making. Our initial results show a 100% increase in those becoming drug-free and those on substitute medication are 100% more likely to be reducing.
The full report from the pilot will be available soon.

More information on our recovery model is available here, (PDF).

Working closely with healthcare providers, local authorities, offender managers, government agencies and third-sector organisations, we bring together the many different resources required to reduce harm, safeguard communities and help people live happier lives. This holistic approach aims to remove the barriers that can prevent long-term sustainable improvements and offers the real prospect of sustainable behavioural change.

Sex and wellbeing
Our cost-effective service model identifies and treats sexual dysfunction via screening, simple brief intervention and providing pathways to psychosexual therapy if needed. 100% of clients who took part in the pilot said they’d raise concerns in the future.

Get Fabulous!
Our unique three-day workshop raises the self-esteem of our clients. After the first workshop, 100% of attendees said their self-esteem and confidence had increased.

Extended brief interventions for alcohol misuse
Our six-session brief intervention and training programme allows professionals, who aren’t specialists in alcohol treatment, to screen clients and deliver treatment to those with low to moderate levels of alcohol misuse.

Alcohol-related domestic abuse
Our six-session alcohol-related domestic abuse programme helps the perpetrators and victims of alcohol-related domestic abuse. In 2010/11, the programme achieved an amazing 73% zero-reoffending rate.

Reducing drug-related offending
Our 12-session drug use and offending programme helps people referred into treatment via the criminal justice system. In 2010/11, the programme achieved an astonishing 71% reduction on illegal drug spend.
