Complex Needs Team

The complex needs team is a small multi-disciplinary team of community mental health nurses, social workers, support recovery workers, with specialist skills and knowledge in mental health and substance misuse.

We aim to improve the health and quality of life for people who are affected by a range of complex issues with substance misuse and mental health.

We believe in partnership / collaborative working to improve the safety and quality of lives for our service users.

We use a variety of theoretical models to reduce the harm often caused by alcohol and / or drug misuse.

We use recovery and harm minimisation models to help services / staff, individuals and affected others work along a continuum which could lead to abstinence.

We strongly support and work collaboratively with a range of providers, staff and clients to assist with the provision of an integrated treatment approach.
