North East Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership launches to support drug and alcohol recovery
New initiative aimed at helping those affected by addiction
A new initiative to support individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use in North East Lincolnshire is set to launch next month.
The North East Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership (NELRP) will begin operations on Monday, offering a free and confidential service aimed at adults and young people seeking help for substance use.
Three organizations, Turning Point, Double Impact, and Framework, have joined forces to manage the service, each bringing unique expertise to the partnership.
Turning Point, with extensive experience delivering drug and alcohol services across 18 local authorities in England, will lead on clinical services and substance use treatment for those in North East Lincolnshire.
Framework, known for providing accommodation and support to homeless and vulnerable people since 2011, will focus on criminal justice and outreach services.
Double Impact will offer recovery and employment support, drawing on lived experience to enhance the service's development.
A specialized young people's service, Inspiring Futures, will provide confidential support and advice on drug and alcohol issues.
The partnership will collaborate with Creative Start Arts in Health CIC, utilizing creativity and community initiatives to support abstinence-based recovery.
By engaging with stakeholders across North East Lincolnshire, NELRP aims to deliver a coordinated service accessible to all, including remote communities through satellite sites and a mobile clinical van.
Cllr Stan Shreeve for Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care at North East Lincolnshire Council, said: “I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to work with Turning Point, Double Impact and Framework to develop this partnership.
“We know that, much like other parts of the country, we have a number of residents who struggle with drug and alcohol use and addiction.
“Getting the right support at the right time is vital, and I know that this new partnership will offer local people a fantastic service with a range of approaches.
“In short, if you are struggling with drug or alcohol use, we are here to support you.”
Christine Hutchinson, Turning Point Regional Head of Operations, added: “We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by North East Lincolnshire Council.
“North East Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership will embrace the expertise of each of its partners to deliver a service that supports people every step of the way on their journey to make positive changes to their lives, reconnect with society and give them pathways to training, education and employment.
“We will ensure that people are offered an expanded range of support to recover from the harm that can be caused through drug and alcohol use. Tackling these issues head on will improve the lives of people across North East Lincolnshire.”
