Drug and Alcohol Recovery Support Service - Market Engagement Event

Tender description

Herefordshire Council are seeking to commission an integrated drug and alcohol recovery support service for adults and young people from 1st December 2020 for a period of 5 (+2) years. The service will work with individuals seeking support for drug or alcohol issues utilising a range of evidence based pharmacological and psychosocial intervention. The service will focus on the promotion of early intervention, resilience and self-care to improve people’s health and well-being and reduce health inequalities. Drug and alcohol use disorder can exacerbate health inequalities leading to premature morbidity and death. To reduce this harm, the integrated drug and alcohol service will be recovery focused, supporting people to make positive choices to improve both their own health and well-being and that of their families. Primarily based on achieving outcomes the successful provider will deliver a service that is responsive to local needs. Taking into account the rural nature of Herefordshire, the provider will utilise community venues and work with partners to integrate the service into the wider health and social care system. This event will give prospective providers the opportunity to gain further insight into the ambitions the council has for these services as well as information about the county of Herefordshire Keywords: Support, Drug, Alcohol
