Camden Adult Substance Misuse, Treatment and Recovery Service

Tender description

The London Borough of Camden wants to procure an integrated adult substance misuse treatment and support service to support residents of Camden with their drug and alcohol use. The broad objectives of Service will be: • To provide treatment and support; • To implement a treatment and recovery system which hold users at its core and works alongside them to identify and develop both their personal strengths and to participate in designing the most effective delivery model for the service; • To encourage and embed recovery within the service user community and across the borough; • To reduce the harm to, and support recovery and resilience for, those family members who have been affected by someone else's substance use / misuse; and • To maximise the number of service users who achieve sustained recovery. The high-quality service will work with people aged 18 years or older (including those transitioning from young people to adult services) who are resident in Camden. The service will have a dedicated and clearly defined single point of contact which will accept referrals from all sources including self/family referrals and those from statutory, voluntary and community organisations. Camden has a complex service user group with high levels of substance misuse and concurrent mental health need. The service will develop positive, professional relationships with partners across the borough and will ensure that services are developed which attract people misusing substances who are currently not known to, or who are not effectively engaged with treatment services. The service must maintain a website that is clear, accessible, and is a point of contact and provides information about the range of services available. This will include where and how the service can be accessed, contact information and an online referral facility. The website must state clearly that the service and interventions are free for Camden residents or people registered with a Camden GP.
