TURNING POINT SCOTLAND SOUTH LANARKSHIRE ALCOHOL & OTHER DRUGS REACHOUT SERVICE

The South Lanarkshire Alcohol & Other Drugs REACHOUT Service will work within the Alcohol & Drug Partnership to establish a service focusing on supporting people over the age of 16 with problematic alcohol & drug use through an Assertive Outreach and Intensive Case Management model.

The Service Model Will Focus On Three Key Groups:

• Individuals who do not engage at any level;
• Individuals who sporadically engage therefore proving difficult to achieve desired outcomes, and
• Individuals who partially engage where the focus is purely on medical treatment
  
  

We are committed to helping individuals begin their journey to recovery whilst utilising harm reduction approaches. Safety will be at the forefront of care delivery and we will make efforts to include families and communities in the continued growth and development of the service model to assist in reducing stigma, increase engagement and retention of individuals within the service/treatment/pathway which works best for them.

The service will operate flexibly & creatively across the whole of South Lanarkshire and will work in partnership with existing services such as CAReS teams and The Beacons etc. The service will operate 7 days a week, including evenings and public holidays.

As a Lead Practitioner, you will work with individuals who have a wide range of support needs, providing them with practical and emotional support and encouraging them to achieve their own personal outcomes in all aspects of their daily lives e.g. keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health and well-being.
