2 Supporting you in your recovery North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust provides services in the local community and in hospital for people wishing to recover from misuse of alcohol and/or drugs. This booklet tells you about what we do and how you can be referred to us. It also tells you about other local services that we work in partnership with to help you. Our approach to your care includes the recovery model, which means we believe that when people are misusing drugs or alcohol significant improvements in physical and mental health are possible, and we want to help people achieve this. Understanding your life and experiences, past and present, is an essential part of recovery and well-being. This includes the difficult life experiences that can lead to stress and trauma, such as assault, domestic violence, debt, abuse, and neglect. Understanding your cultural and religious or spiritual beliefs is also very important. Our substance misuse services are there to support you in this process and can help you on the pathway to a full recovery. The life-style choices that will help you improve your health include exercise, good diet and sleep habits, outdoor, creative and social activities. We can identify what treatments may be helpful and either provide this ourselves or help you get access to them. This may include medication, counselling, social support or complementary therapy. Working together towards recovery Combined Healthcare NHS Trust has substance misuse teams throughout North Staffordshire that work together to help you. The next few pages explain how the services work with you and other health professionals towards your recovery. Assessment Your first assessment will be carried out by a nurse or doctor. It will take place in a range of locations such as your GP s surgery, your home or a clinic. The assessment will help us to identify what your needs are and which service would be the best to help you. At the assessment, we will focus on your alcohol or substance misuse difficulty. the assessment, but you need to consider that some sensitive areas may be discussed. The assessment involves gathering relevant information to get a clear picture. You will need to be as honest as possible when answering questions and talking about yourself to ensure that we have accurate information and can offer treatment that meets your needs. Your assessment should take about an hour. Please note that we may not be able to assess you if you are heavily intoxicated. 2 3
3 Developing a treatment plan Alcohol dependency Following assessment, the information gathered from you will be discussed by the team and the most suitable treatment will be agreed. This may mean continuing treatment with our service or you may decide that you would like to be referred to other services. Please feel free to ask any questions at anytime if you do not fully understand the process. You may find it useful to jot down any questions before the assessment appointment. Written information will be given to you, including a copy of your care plan once it has been agreed. Your GP will be informed about the assessment and care plan. We will provide further information if you choose to get support from another organisation. Options for treatment of alcohol misuse include: Planned and safe gradual reduction of alcohol to either safer levels or abstinence dependent on the individual. If suitable, home detoxification by a Community Mental Health Nurse (CMHN) with prescribed medication normally from your GP. If necessary, referral for inpatient detoxification. Blood tests may be arranged at your assessment to find out if your drinking has caused any physical health problems. Should this be the case, if you consent, you may be referred to a specialist for further help. If significant mental health problems are discovered, then you could either be referred to your GP for treatment or to a Psychiatrist for further assessment with your consent. You will be encouraged to consider referral to a Rehabilitation centre. Referral to other agencies for support, including Social Services, AA and ADSIS. During this process, your keyworker will work with you to reduce risk of relapse and help you to find ways of maintaining your abstinence. If your goal is a planned and safe, gradual reduction of alcohol drinking to reduce to a safe level (14 units per week for women, 21 units per week for men is recommended), you could be referred to ADSIS for support, or alternatively you may refer yourself. Helpline numbers and other details of organisations will be given to help you and your family/friends to seek support at any time. (see Page 13) The term opiate includes drugs such as heroin and prescribed painkillers such as codeine. 4 5
4 At your first appointment, you will have a full assessment including a urine screen or mouth swab test to find out what substances you are or have been taking. If required we prescribe medication to replace ( substitute ) the opiate drug you have been taking. The medications we use would be methadone or buprenorphine (also known as subutex). Depending on the outcome of the assessment you could then be accepted for treatment on one of the following options shown in the table, on the next page. Additional options for help will be discussed with you, this may include referral to Addaction or ADS. There is growing evidence to suggest that treatment supported by psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioural Opiate Dependency Psychotherapy, may benefit some people, your keyworker can discuss this with you. There is also evidence to suggest that auricular acupuncture (small needles placed at points in your ear) helps with cravings and with relaxation, you may be referred for this following discussion with your keyworker. The table on the next page shows the ways in which we can help you with your opiate addiction and how services work together towards your recovery. Shared Care If your GP is part of this scheme, he/she will be able to prescribe your opiate substitute. You will be expected to see both the GP and keyworker at regular intervals and will be expected to provide saliva or urine samples as required. Aim To stabilise on prescription and to consider planned reduction of prescription longer term. GP with Special Interest Clinic (GPSI) A clinic run by a GP specialising in substance misuse and opiate substitute prescribing. You will be expected to see both the GP and keyworker at regular intervals and will be expected to provide saliva or urine samples as required. Aim To stabilise on prescription, reduce/cease using other substances. Planned reduction when you are ready. Once stable, you may be transferred to shared care if your GP provides it. You may be transferred to the specialist clinic if specialist needs arise. Specialist Clinic (Edward Myers Centre) A clinic overseen by a Consultant specialising in substance misuse and opiate substitute prescribing. You will be expected to attend weekly at first and to provide a urine sample as required. You may also be asked to provide blood and breathalyser samples. Pregnant drug users will also be referred to this clinic. Aim To stabilise on prescription and be monitored weekly for any further substance use. Depending on your progress, you may be transferred to the GPSI. Pregnancy will be monitored throughout until 6 months after the birth, working with the maternity service at UHNS. 6 7
5 We have two teams providing services in the communities of Newcastle and Staffordshire Moorlands, and an alcohol detoxification service in Stoke-on-Trent. Newcastle and Moorlands Community Addiction Teams Each team is made up of experienced Community Mental Health Nurses (CMHN) and other professionals. We work with people experiencing difficulties as a result of either alcohol or drug use.

We offer advice, information and support and can assist in the treatment if you wish to detoxify.
