Rochdale Recovery Service

The overall aim of the Rochdale Recovery offer is to provide a high quality, recovery focused

programme of activity across Rochdale, that will support people to become free from

dependency from substances and enable them to thrive. The service will work closely with

drug and alcohol treatment providers and others who provide support to those in active drug

and alcohol use to provide an offer of hope of recovery with meaningful activities to support

recovery in everyday life.

The service will adopt a holistic, and whole family, approach to service delivery to ensure that

the wider determinants of health are supported. Establishing effective partnerships with wider

stakeholders is crucial to providing a comprehensive service offer.

The priority outcomes the service will be expected to support the wider system in achieving

are:

• A reduction in levels of drug and alcohol related harm.
• A reduction in drug and alcohol related offending.
• An increase in the number of people in and sustaining recovery.
• A reduction in drug and alcohol related deaths.
• Contribute to the reduction in demand for other services linked to complex drug and

alcohol issues (e.g., reduction in the number of emergency department attendances

and admissions by those who have multiple attendances and repeat presentations to

adult social care).

• Contribute to a reduction in health inequalities
