Agencia assembled a team of expert practitioners to design and run Active Recovery; an innovative service model to support registered drug users who have long-term issues with substance abuse. The service works across the county in close liaison with a team of General Practitioners and other medical professionals to meet the needs of clients through the prescription of appropriate Opiate Substitution Therapy. This medical support is embedded within a holistic and challenging package of care and psychosocial interventions to enable clients to achieve their personal ‘recovery’ goals and support them on the journey towards a drug free life.
Public Health England Capital Funding recognised the value of our work and accepted a bid to bring a purpose-built treatment centre to a deprived area of Scunthorpe.
“This service follows a simple vision: to support our clients into recovery, achieving changes that make lives better. A major element of this is creating an environment where becoming drug free is realistic and achievable. We deliver a highly personalised programme in a manner which is both challenging and supporting.”

A clear transformation was seen in Scunthorpe and the work Agencia implemented has not only improved individual welfare but the community as a whole.
