• Reduce the level of harm caused to individuals, families and the wider community as a result of drug and alcohol misuse.
• Provide trauma informed, non-judgmental services that are fair and equitable providing good access to all and delivering a range of interventions which are evidence based, cost-effective and are responsive to client need.

There will be a core offer of one-to-one key working, and where appropriate pharmacological interventions. These will be enhanced through the use of a range of tools and techniques to increase motivation to change, support sustainable behaviour change and build recovery capital including the use of breathalysers, fibro scanning and health monitoring, digital approaches, engagement with physical activities, education and employment interventions and peer and group support. There will be a flexibility in the service offer which recognises the need for a tailored service response particularly for key vulnerable and priority groups including, women, those within the criminal justice system, people from underserved and hard to reach communities including those with complex mental and physical health conditions and those experiencing homelessness.
