Local Need (Drugs) Which local drug users does the plan aim to support through commissioning services? 4017 opiate and crack users of which: 2,200 heroin users are already in treatment and need ongoing treatment (prescribing interventions) and recovery support <2,000 heroin users not yet in treatment who require harm reduction interventions including needle exchange, hepatitis screening and immunisation & wound care; and motivational interventions to choose a drug free life Opiates include heroin, opium and some over the counter and prescription drugs e.g. codeine based preparations Non opiate users, sometimes called recreational drug users who require harm reduction interventions including needle exchange, hepatitis screening and immunisation & wound care; psychosocial interventions and motivational interventions to choose a drug free life. Non opiates include: Cannabis and synthetic cannabinoids, Crack cocaine and powder cocaine, Club drugs including ketamine, ecstasy and new psychoactive substances, Khat, Steroid users
Local Need (Alcohol) 47,000 higher risk drinkers of whom we should commission interventions for 10-15% (4,700-7,050) including: Binge drinkers (more than 175ml wine or 1 pint of beer for women per day or 1.5 pints and 250ml glass of wine for men per day, drunk quickly in order to get drunk) People drinking at increasing and higher risk (above DH guidelines of 14 units per week/2-3 per day for women with 2 drink free days and 21 per week/3-4 per day for men with 2 drink free days) Dependent drinkers Vulnerable drinkers including street drinkers Most individuals do not require treatment but identification that they are drinking at increased risk and brief advice on behaviour change. Dependent drinkers will usually require treatment interventions in order to cut down or stop drinking This plan aims to provide services both for people who wish to drink safely, socially and sensibly within Department of Health unit guidelines as well as for those who require total abstinence.
Proposed Service Re-design Just under 5m investment ( 4.95m comprising contract values + additional variable costs of medical waste, drug testing, needle exchange paraphernalia, prescription costs, vaccines) Investment of circa 2,000 per drug/alcohol user per year a typical heroin user spends 1,400 per month on drugs so this is good value for public money End to end services Opiates, non-opiates, alcohol Specialist needle exchange separate from treatment and recovery services for drugs Alcohol not co-located with any drug service < 3 weeks waiting time targets for all interventions Per capita funding model so capacity can be increased or decreased according to need/demand National unit costs and regional benchmarking used to set a fair price Flat rates paid for premises and non clinical pay rather than a % management fee 25% cost savings on current contract values over 2 years 3-5 year contract terms with a break clause at year 3
