In collaboration with the Integrated Drugs Team, our Intensive Housing Support Service provides recovery-focused support for individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges. Using a strengths-based approach to addressing barriers to recovery, we work to promote self-management, resilience building and connecting positively to community resources to promote ongoing wellbeing.
The Intensive Housing Support Service supports individuals and families in Aberdeen City affected by substance use. We aim to support individuals to reduce their substance use, reduce harm associated with substance use and to support individuals to make informed decisions about their medication prescription as per MAT standards implementation. Our team will provide advice on how such support is accessed and how this may benefit.
Our Service also looks to offer trauma-informed support to individuals, with personalised support plans, addressing outstanding legal matters, debt management and budgeting. We utilise our I.ROC tool and HOPE toolkit to promote healthy social networks and relationship building skills as well as exploring triggers and healthy decision-making strategies. By doing so, our hopes are that people are better engaged with recovery focused support, experience high quality treatment and support which reduces risk and promotes safety, and people achieve personal goals across a range of wellbeing indicators.
As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.
We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
