Substance Misuse Service

The purpose of the substance misuse service is to assess women who are experiencing or have experienced domestic violence, implement care plans to facilitate positive change and reduce harm through delievery and development of services. The women can be either in the community or at a refuge across any of the London Boroughs.

The service provides:

• Support and advice for women

• Assessment for care management

• Implementation of individual care plans

• One to one key working in refuge or at community outreach locations.

• Advice on reducing the risk of harm to themselves and others.

• Joint work with other service agencies.

• Follow up and referral to alternative services where appropriate.

In addition, substance misuse services at Solace are working towards increasing access into refuges across London for those experiencing drug/alcohol abuse and domestic violence.
