CGL Spectrum is part of the national provider Change Grow Live, who provides a not-for-profit drug and alcohol treatment service.
CGL Spectrum operates a hub and spoke model. There were four main hubs at the time of inspection which were in Hatfield, Watford, Hertford and Stevenage, as well as 10 satellite hubs across Hertfordshire.
Opening times at all four hubs varied to ensure service users were able to access the service in the evening and weekend. Each hub had specialist teams and recovery workers, including an Opiate Team, Alcohol Team, Complex needs Team, an Engagement Rapid Recovery team and a specialist housing team. Co-located teams included Family Safeguarding, Hospital Liaison, Integrated Criminal Justice and Family and a Young Peoples service.
CGL Spectrum is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide treatment of disease disorder or injury and diagnostic and screening procedures as a regulated activity. At the time of inspection, the service had a registered manager in post.
