In line the National Drug Strategy (NDS) of 2017 the service will also need to be ambitious for full recovery, improving both treatment quality and outcomes for different user groups, ensuring people get the right intervention to support their level of need. The service will need to work in partnership with a range of other agencies from both the statutory and voluntary sector, facilitating a joined up approach to the services that are essential to supporting every individual to live without dependence.
For young people, the service will need to be able to be flexible in its approach, working closely with Children and Family services, local schools and colleges to prevent the onset of drug and alcohol use and support those where use has become problematic
