Referral to in-patient and residential rehabilitation services must always be considered within the context of a structured care plan rather than as a stand-alone, 'quick fix' intervention.
In consequence, referrors will be expected to fully explain the strategic thinking behind the referral as well as indicate what measures will be in place to support the client on completion of treatment.
Referrals for in-patient treatment should be made via the Inpatient Referrals Manager on 07810 815300.
Applications for funding for residential rehabilitation should be addressed to:
The Substance Misuse Team,
Southwark Social Services,
Lower Floor,
Maudsley Hospital,
Denmark Hill,
London, SE5 8AZ
Tel: 020 7919 2403
