This is a specialist service, available to people from across the UK.
GPs, consultants, health professionals, referrers and commissioners
can receive comprehensive information about this national service by
contacting the service directly.
Overview
Our clinic provides injectable opiate treatment for people with a
severe heroin addiction, where previous optimised first line drug
treatment, such as oral methadone maintenance, has been shown to be insufficient.
Patients are prescribed injectable heroin (diamorphine) or methadone,
which is administered at the clinic under supervision and supplementary
oral medication can be provided between injecting sessions to prevent
opiate withdrawal and also if it is desirable or necessary for them not
attend a session. The clinic is open every day and all injectable doses
are supervised, so there is no potential for abuse or transference into
the community. People typically attend the clinic up to twice daily,
seven days a week.
In addition to this specialised pharmacotherapy intervention, our
nurses, doctors and recovery support workers work alongside existing
local providers to compliment and bolster existing recovery focussed
care plans that address the underlying causes of addiction, and the
related health issues an individual may be experiencing.
Where appropriate skills and expertise exist we support local
community teams to develop their own injectable opiate treatment
services, allowing the patient to return to their local service provider
at the earliest opportunity, once sufficient progress and stability of
their recovery has been achieved.
