Roads to Recovery Cinderford is an integrated community drug and alcohol recovery service, provided by Turning Point.
The service has been commissioned since 2013 to deliver pharmaceutical, psychosocial and recovery based interventions in a community setting. Services in this location were, prior to 2013, delivered by another provider.
The service accepts people aged 18 years or over who are experiencing negative effects from their drug or alcohol use. Services offered are counselling support, referral and signposting, parenting support, hepatitis screening and vaccinations, needle exchange and safe disposal of injecting equipment, family and carer support, as well as specialist substitute prescribing.
We carried out a focussed inspection following information we received; this prompted our inspection as we wanted to explore the issues raised in more detail. During the inspection we looked at the quality and safety of risk assessments and risk monitoring, staffing levels including the numbers of staff and the skill mix, and the support provided to staff, their knowledge of safeguarding and incident reporting as well as looking at the general culture of the service and the impact of this on the delivery of care and treatment.
