The aims of the Service are to: - deliver services across the Authorities to respond flexibly to the emerging trends, including those following COVID-19, and the changing substance misuse needs of residents; - to further embed the culture of active and innovative methods of Service User involvement which permeate Services' delivery; - to embody an ethos of ambition for individual success and demonstrate a proactive approach using entrepreneurship, in increasing opportunities for individual success and sustainable recovery; and - deliver clinical interventions by qualified medical staff that operate within clear clinical governance guidelines.
