Residential Rehab in drug & alcohol services

The East Midlands has small populations of adults requiring specialist residential rehabilitation services, which make planning and commissioning these services difficult on a locality basis. This project builds on work by a regional post (funded by the Crime & Disorder Partnerships) to co-ordinate and develop commissioning of Tier 4 services. It will support regional contract advertising and the development of a data collection system to support the analysis of each authority's placements, budget management and regional analysis capability. The project is due to be complete by March 2011.
