Description
Dual diagnosis relates to the co-existence of mental ill health and the problematic use of drugs and/or alcohol.
Brent Council wish to reshape the current adult drug and alcohol service provision into a drug, alcohol and Mental Health treatment pathway. This will increase the number of people who are able to sustain long term recovery from dependence by providing individual support and treatment which reduces the harm caused by addiction and dependence.
Recovery will be the primary goal of the service. It is therefore imperative that the service as a whole, as well as individual staff, understands the principals of recovery.
The service will be for six clients, either male or female aged between 18-65, who have a dual diagnosis and who receive clinical mental health treatment. The service should be staffed, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with two staff on duty at certain times of the day. Single waking night cover should also be provided. The property is owned by a Housing Association and located within the London Borough of Brent. The successful provider will also be expected to undertake the housing management for the property and enter into a housing management agreement with the landlord in addition to the delivery of the support service.
The Council wishes to work with providers who can evidence their experience in Dual Diagnosis support provision so that the social care 'Recovery Pathway' is embedded within the service delivery model. The provider of the service does not have to be CQC registered, as they will not be delivering any regulated activity but the successful provider will be expected to support clients through their recovery to enable them to step down into lesser intensive supported living accommodation such as housing related support, within a two year period.
The duration of the contracts will be for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for two years on a one plus one basis. The total budget for the whole contract period will be up to £1,200,000
The estimated commencement of the services will be 1st November 2021.
