Specialist Family & Carers Service

Description

Specialist Family and Carers service by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, which aims to support people affected by someone else's drug or alcohol use, and/or involvement in the illicit and illegal drugs trade.
The service will work holistically with families and carers to help them:
• Manage, cope with, and reduce the impact of substance use on the whole family unit.
• Support loved ones through their substance use treatment and recovery journey.
This will be achieved through a mix of structured 1-1 and group interventions and trauma- informed counselling, following a robust initial assessment and care planning process.
Service users will also receive ongoing information, advice, guidance, advocacy, peer support, training, signposting, respite activities, crisis intervention and practical support.
