Summary description
The Croydon Community Drug and Alcohol Service is part the Addictions
Division and based at Lantern Hall. They provide assessment and treatment
and advice for people, aged over 18, who have substance misuse (drug
and/or alcohol) related problems. We care for people who live in the
London Borough of Croydon.
They see most people at Lantern Hall, but some are seen in their
own homes, in the community or at their local GP surgery. They provide
a Tier 2 addictions assessment and brief intervention clinic, and
a Tier 3 addictions assessment and treatment service.
Tier 2 services provide drug-related information, advice, assessment,
referrals, interventions (including needle exchange) and aftercare.
Tier 3 services provide specialised drug assessments, treatment, care
and referrals, delivered in the community or on hospital sites. They
provide people with a care plan and a key worker. They are often delivered
alongside Tier 2 services, in the same premises and by the same staff.
