Harrow Adult Substance Misuse Service specialises in delivering drug and alcohol treatment, crime reduction interventions for drug and alcohol offenders and support for carers/families affected by substance misuse. The Service minimises the impact that substance misuse has on individuals and the wider community, ultimately making a positive contribution to addressing health inequalities and crime reduction priorities of the Safer Harrow Board. An effective treatment and recovery service can make a significant contribution to reduction in reoffending in Harrow, reducing anti-social behaviour and support early intervention i.e. reducing numbers of children moving into higher threshold care services. The service model will incorporate the following elements: — prescribing: to deliver clinical review, detoxification/rehabilitation. (community and inpatient), harm reduction, — recovery: to deliver a recovery-focused programme (community and inpatient) supporting treatment leavers with life skills, access to employment, training and education (ETE) in order to sustain long-term recovery from substance misuse.
