Enhanced Shared Care for Substance Misuse
Ash Grove Medical Centre

In line with government policy the enhanced shared care scheme
hopes to provide treatment for patients closer to their homes, and
not only closer but in a location that feels more appropriate and
that is their GP surgery. We are looking to provide
pharmacological interventions as well as striving to deliver all the
ancillary services that combine within a comprehensive
personalised recovery plan that enables patients to become more
empowered to tackle their problems. The service will also look at
working with communities and how substances effect cares and
relations
We propose to provide facilities so that all services can be
delivered from a primary care setting, such as housing, debt,
jobcentre plus advice, counselling, benefits, etc. these services
would be open to the whole population not just substance misuse
but it would mean that service users are able to access all
previously centralised services in a locality setting. Educational
sessions and group sessions will be provided so that carers and
families feel more supported.
