265.7 - Drug and Alcohol Service for Adults and Young People

Award outcome

Description

This is a "Call off" from Lot 12 of the "Ethical Community Living Framework". This service will be based upon a reformed model of care and support in the community delivering with a range of partners' initiatives in support of prevention and early help. The service will promote and support self-care so that people may sustain and improve their own health and wellbeing. Regular monitoring and support will enable those less able to progress toward a position of self-care. Self-care approaches will divert people away from accessing services in an unplanned way and reducing long-term reliance on health and social care services. The service will work in partnership to develop a model of recovery from drugs and alcohol that advocates real improvements for all those people affected by directly responding to care needs through the provision of clinical interventions but also by promoting recovery and addressing the wider needs and determinants of health and wellbeing. The Provider will deliver the service on an open access basis for all residents, enabling and supporting self and wider agency referrals. In consultation, the Provider will be expected to continue to develop ways to increase access and uptake of all elements of the service. Agency sectors and population segments will be identified and prioritised where there is an under-representation, high need or expressed need identified by Commissioners.
