2013-02-01 News

A new drug and alcohol service run by CRI has launched on the 1st February in Northamptonshire.

The CRI Northamptonshire Integrated Recovery Service will have premises in Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Daventry and Corby. CRI will also work with partners to deliver treatment via satellite services in rural areas. The service will provide advice, information and medical treatment for people worried about alcohol or drugs, and offer support to their families and friends.

CRI has been commissioned by Northamptonshire County Council and will work in partnership with two voluntary organisations: The Bridge which provides drug recovery services, and Aquarius which specialises in alcohol treatment after care support.

Nic Adamson, Deputy Director at CRI said:

“The new service that CRI will be delivering in Northamptonshire will provide vital support to people in the community who may be struggling with drug and alcohol issues. We pride ourselves on providing tailored treatment to individuals to enable them to get their lives back on track and play a positive role in the community.”

For more information on the service, both professionals and members of the public can contact CRI Northamptonshire Integrated Recovery Service on 0845 034 4549 or northants@cri.org.uk.
