Tender description

Lincolnshire County Council is seeking to procure: a county wide all age Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery service and a countywide all-age Substance Misuse Family and Affected Others support service for Lincolnshire to support adults, children and young persons and their families and affected others including children and young persons who have experienced substance misuse.

The Substance Misuse Services are aligned to four core principle aims: - Prevention; aiming to prevent harm occurring, by working with key Partners within the systemwide Substance Misuse arena and actively promoting key health messages to adults, children and young people across Lincolnshire. - Treatment; the service provides both clinical and non-clinical interventions to enable individuals to safely reduce their addiction to drugs and alcohol, recover and remain drug and alcohol free. - Harm Reduction; providing support to individuals to reduce drug related deaths and the impact on families and increase their safety. - Recovery; to support and empower individuals to recover from addiction and stay that way, through building sustainable recovery communities and increase resilience, confidence, and skills so that individuals and their families will be able to regain their lives.
