| Further information | Turning Point Scotland’s Alcohol and Other Drug Reachout Service will provide an Assertive Outreach and Intensive Case Management Service we understand the assertive outreach approach to be at the heart of a person-centred and flexible model of service which is designed to take services to where people are, to reach people who services have traditionally struggled to engage, to build a trusting relationship, motivation and openness to change, to help people navigate the service landscape and sustain engagement with services and will operate throughout the whole of South Lanarkshire with offices in Cambuslang – Hamilton – East Kilbride and Clydesdale. The service model will focus on three key groups: Individuals who do not engage at any level; Individuals who sporadically engage therefore proving difficult to achieve desired outcomes, and Individuals who partially engage where the focus is purely on medical treatment. |
