Drug treatment
Across our drug treatment services we work in close partnership with over 100 GPs and a number of probation offices. We provide information about vaccination and testing for blood borne viruses, and healthy eating advice. We also offer other useful services including our structured day programmes, service user involvement groups, housing support, needle exchange advice and peer-group support. Where appropriate we’ll signpost to other services including benefit advice, counselling and advocacy. If our service users receive help from other agencies we’ll work together to provide comprehensive treatment tailored to the individual.
Accredited programmes
We provide a variety of accredited programmes including the Drink Impaired Driver and Lower Intensity Alcohol Programmes. We take our commitments to the offender management service very seriously, and are incredibly proud of our multi-skilled workers and trainers.
Healthcare professionals
We work positively with healthcare professionals to deliver alcohol and drug services in healthcare environments such as GP surgeries, health centres, hospitals and services for the homeless and vulnerably housed. We also work within local communities.
Our services include:
- alcohol awareness training
- brief intervention training

We work hard with our partners and commissioners to constantly improve the accessibility of all our services.

Local authorities
We understand the pressures that local authorities are under and the importance of working flexibly in partnership. We work with local authorities to find innovative ways of meeting the demands and targets in their local area agreements for alcohol and drug, and supporting people with housing-related services.
