LIST OF PROVIDERS OFFERING INPATIENT
DETOX AND RESIDENTIAL REHAB SERVICES
Lifeline Project and its partners are seeking expressions of interest from organisations who wish to join a
standing list of Providers offering a range of specialist and non specialist Tier 4 Inpatient Alcohol and/or
Drugs Detox provision (Lot 1) and a range of abstinence-based Primary and Secondary Residential
Rehabilitation Treatment services (Lot 2) to be accessible to residents of Tameside and Glossop which will
offer flexible treatment packages suitable for the differing level of Service User need and complexity.
Interested organisations are reminded that this tender is for inclusion on a standing list only and once
approved, all placements will be subject to a panel process.
We are committed to reducing substance misuse related harm in Tameside and Glossop by supporting
people who misuse drugs and alcohol to change so that these substances no longer have a detrimental
effect on their lives or those of their families and friends. We commission a range of services that work
together across the spectrum of prevention to recovery delivering a range of interventions that enable
Service users to become free from alcohol and drug harm.
LOT 1 – INPATIENT DETOX
The aim of the Service is to provide short episodes of Tier 4 inpatient alcohol and/or drug detoxification with
24 hour medical cover and multidisciplinary team support, as described below. The service exists to provide
both stabilisation and crisis management, depending on the individual needs of the Service User.
The objectives of the service are to:
• provide a period of drug-free recovery as appropriate ;
• provide supervised medication to prevent withdrawal symptoms from alcohol dependency
alongside the clinical management of related and other medical conditions;
• provide effective psychological interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy
and relapse prevention therapy;
• reduce the use of illicit or non-prescribed and other drugs;
• facilitate, support and maximise the opportunities for abstinence from alcohol and drugs;
• improve overall personal, social and family functioning.
LOT 2 – RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION
The aim of the abstinence-based Primary and Secondary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment service
is to provide:
• a supportive and therapeutic environment as a key component of the recovery ethos
of the service provision;
• a care planned structured rehabilitation programme designed around the health,
social and psychological needs of an individual Service User;
• specialist support to provide a route out of dependency on drugs and/or alcohol
and re-integration into the community.
The objectives of the service are to:
• sustain alcohol and/or drug-free abstinence in particular to follow on from detoxification;
• provide effective psychological interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and relapse
prevention therapy to understand and deal with addiction;
• develop a plan for psychological support to help a Service User address any underlying trauma;
• provide strategies to move away from the use of illicit or non-prescribed and other drugs
and to overcome dependency on alcohol;
• facilitate, support and maximise the opportunities for abstinence from alcohol and
drugs as part of a re-integration strategy;
• improve overall personal, social and family functioning;
• encourage mutual support as a means for sustaining abstinence;
• deliver a realistic re-integration plan to allow a Service User to re-enter their local
community. This may involve plans for re-settlement.
