Description
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council are commissioning tier 4 substance misuse services. These include: In-patient Detoxification (medically managed and medically monitored), Residential Rehabilitation placements and Direct Access provision.
Residential rehabilitation is a Tier 4 intervention, providing support and rehabilitation to Service Users with complex alcohol and/or drug misuse disorders, who may have other co-existing physical and/or mental health needs. These are delivered in residential settings where illicit drug and/or alcohol use is not permitted. The continuity of care offered by rehabilitation programmes following detoxification enables the progress made to be consolidated and built upon, increasing the likelihood of the individual maintaining a drug / alcohol free lifestyle.
In-patient Detoxification (both medically managed and medically monitored): - The overall aim of in-patient treatment services is to deliver evidence based effective treatment provision.
In line with the Public Health Outcomes Framework the key aims of the service may be summarised as:-
1. To promote long term, sustainable abstinence from substance misuse.
2. To promote the successful social integration of individuals and enable them to live as independently as possible.
3. To improve the overall wellbeing of individuals and their carers and dependants.
4. To provide recovery focussed support packages tailored to meet individual needs and preferences
Direct Access enables access to a residential placement which is often offered at a time of crisis, when a community or in patient based detoxification can also be utilised as part of an overall fast tracked package of care, provided in partnership with local community substance misuse providers. This is enhances opportunities for sustainable recovery and improved health and wellbeing by ensuring timely access to a secure bed whilst also considering the need for move on accommodation, facilitated locally for people who require a safe place to live and are experiencing a range of multiple and more complex needs.
