Working in partnership with Norfolk and Waveney ICB, our Dual Diagnosis Service is here to support individuals who have both mental health issues as well as drug or alcohol addiction. The service is available for those in the Waveney area over the age of 18. We are here to ensure Service Users receive the treatment and support that they need and to make sure they don’t fall between services because of their co-occurring issues.

Who can refer?

Referrals can be made by system partners or Service Users can choose to self-refer. Partners include;

  • Primary care

  • Substance Misuse/Addiction services

What can Service Users expect from our team?

We will:

  • Carry out an initial needs assessment

  • Agree an individual support plan which addresses their needs

  • Hold meetings for regular reviews and assessment of progress

  • Support to access other services that will help, such as counselling, drop-in spaces, group work and signposting you other therapies which may help

  • Ask for feedback regularly and suggestions as to how we can improve the service

 

What will we achieve together?

  • Improved physical health

  • An improvement in quality of life, mental health and wellbeing

  • An increase in engagement with the mental health and/or substance misuse/addiction services needed

  • A reduction in the negative effect of having a dual diagnosis
