An open framework for the provision of accommodation and inpatient detox treatment. The Council is holding a consultation event, details of which of which can be found on this website:https://www.bristol.gov.uk/social-care-health/substance-misuse-treatment-services-tender As space is limited only 1 representative per organisation can attend. This element will need to provide a clinically safe inpatient detoxification or stabilisation regime to the most complex individuals whose needs cannot be met in the community or through a residential rehab detox. This provision will be required to provide a planned regime of 24-hour medically directed evaluation, care and treatment of substance related disorders in an acute care inpatient unit. This will be staffed by designated addiction accredited physicians, as well as clinicians and recovery workers. This service will provide medically supervised prescribing, assessment, care and treatment to individuals requiring detoxification from either drugs or alcohol or stabilisation on opiate substitution therapy (OST) where abstinence is not the goal. Residential rehabilitation is a specialised service offering accommodation, support and rehabilitation to people with complex drug and/or alcohol and other health needs. This will be provided according to a recovery plan and will include intensive and structured programmes delivered in a residential environment. The Substance Misuse Team intend to commission a range of residential rehab across the country in order to meet individuals needs for this type of intervention. The following placements will be commissioned from residential rehab providers: Detox placements which will usually be provided for up to 2 weeks. Primary stage one placements which will usually be for 12 weeks, with a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 16 weeks. Secondary stage 2 placements which will usually be for 12 weeks, with a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 16 weeks.
