Oxfordshire's Drug Treatment System
Harm Reduction Services
- For those who do not feel able to stop taking drugs but want to minimise
the harm to themselves or to others; easily accessible, includes needle
exchange.
Open Access and Assessment
Services - These provide advice and information and support for users,
families and carers. They allow for people to drop-in or telephone for
an appointment. If you think you need treatment, visit your GP or ask
for an initial (triage) assessment with a drugs worker, who can then help
you identify and access the right service(s). This web site tells you
how to access an assessment.
Structured Treatment Services
- Following your assessment, it may be necessary to refer you to another
service for treatment, which might include counselling or a substitute
prescription. This web site outlines the services provided in Oxfordshire
to which you may be referred.
Residential and Inpatient Services
– Some people with complex needs will be referred to treatment in
a residential or in-patient service.
Aftercare Services – Following
your treatment you will receive help and support to maintain the progress
that you have made and enable you to live independently.
