## Notice

The outcome focussed Sheffield substance misuse service/s will support individuals with substance use disorders to reduce harm to themselves and others, achieve positive outcomes and lead lives free of problematic substance use. Stepped interventions will be provided in line with best practice guidance in order to offer individuals interventions which best suit their substance use disorder at the point of entry to treatment, and will be reviewed regularly. Transition from one element of the service/s to another should appear seamless. The service/s will work closely and constructively with stakeholder organisations delivering services to the same individuals to minimise duplication. The provider should utilise a routine method of collecting service user feedback. Due to ongoing developments both nationally and locally in substance misuse policy the service must be flexible and responsive to emergent trends in the field and to be able to operationalise responses quickly. The service will be a key partner in Sheffield in responding to the needs of the people using substances, and will help to deliver the two citywide strategies - 'Sheffield Alcohol Strategy 2016-2020' and 'Sheffield Drug Strategy 2018-2022'. These strategies are available to read online at www.sheffielddact.org.uk.
