Rehabilitation services

Tender description

Warwickshire's new drug and alcohol service will have a strong emphasis on early intervention prevention and community based recovery, supporting people with drug and alcohol problems and their families to make positive changes to their lives to achieve both short and longer term goals of recovery. This approach will offer a range of support and treatment to move people on through the service efficiently and effectively, minimising delay at all points and preventing re-entry or long term service reliance to achieve sustained recovery and improve their health and wellbeing outcomes and family functioning.Providers will need to adopt a whole system approach with early intervention, prevention and recovery being explicit in all service elements, in order to support people to make the changes they need to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives. Lot 1: Children & Young People’s Drug and Alcohol Service. Lot 2: Adult Drug and Alcohol Service. Lot 3: All Age Drug and Alcohol Recovery Network. The service will be available to all young people who currently reside in Warwickshire up to and including 25 years, who take substances at a level where it significantly disrupts the young person’s functioning potentially causing longer term harm. Specialist substance misuse treatment services will be reserved for those young people whose substance misuse needs cannot be met by either targeted or universal services on the integrated pathway for drug and alcohol services. The provider will support all residents from the age of 18 years upwards within the administrative county of Warwickshire who: — have been assessed as in need of support for a drug or alcohol dependency, — are vulnerable and at high risk of being unsafe, — are committed and ready to address their own drug and alcohol issues, — are affected or affecting someone else’s drug and alcohol misuse, — are registered with a Warwickshire GP. The Recovery Network which forms part of Warwickshire’s Drug and Alcohol service plays a pivotal role in supporting people through their sustained recovery journey to make positive choices to improve their health and wellbeing outcomes and improve family functioning. Service users and family members will be referred to the Recovery Network from the point of entry into the adult or children and young people’s treatment service. This integrated pathway of support will be delivered through clear dialogue links between the provider(s) and a single electronic common record, which will be accessible to the adults, children’s and young people’s and recovery network services. The provider will work with closely with adults, children and young people and their families to provide a community recovery focussed offer which builds on the work of the adult and young person’s substance misuse service. This will be achieved by nurturing close working relationships and open communication with both the adults and children and young people’s Drug and Alcohol services.
