This will continue to assist more individuals accessing community treatment service for support with their drug and alcohol use.
The service will continue to support the treatment of drug and alcohol dependency in secondary care and help provide on-going support for people to stop or reduce their drug and alcohol use in the hospital as an inpatient and following discharge. The service links with other community substance misuse services.
