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 new Substance Misuse services are influenced by the key findings from the demand review, market engagement, stakeholder feedback and Lincolnshire Drugs Strategy 2021-25 which has a key focus on reducing drug related deaths, reducing drug-related offending and reducing the prevalence of drug use within our communities.
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.
The Council is publishing this opportunity for the market to bid for two separate LOTS:
LOT 1: A countywide all age integrated Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery service.
LOT 2: A countywide all age Family and Affected others support service.
