a recovery-focussed substance misuse
treatment service, integrating the existing
drug and alcohol services under one contract.
This service will be available to adults, living in North Somerset or registered with a GP in
North Somerset experiencing drug and/or alcohol use problems. It will include: structured
and un-structured treatment programmes; one to one and group psycho-social programmes;
pharmacological treatments including arrangement for community and inpatient detoxification;
harm reduction initiatives, including specialist needle exchange and initiatives to address factors
which are hindering an individual’s ability to achieve their desired substance use goals, e.g.
isolation, family problems, mental health issues, physical health issues, education, employment.
North Somerset Council will accept bids from single providers, partnerships and consortia;
and, subject to approval, will accept bids based on sub-contracting arrangements. The Council will
be particularly interested in receiving bids in which the delivery arrangements will provide
increased and measureable social value.
