East Sussex has 1,598 residents accessing drug
treatment, 1,118 of which are accessing support for opiates and 739
residents accessing alcohol treatment. The main urban areas of the
county – Eastbourne and Hastings have the highest numbers of
residents in treatment. However, there are significant treatment
populations in other parts of the county. East Sussex has
experienced a significant drop in presentations for alcohol since
2013. It is also a priority area for Public Health England (PHE)
due to the number of drug related deaths (DRDs).
Substance Misuse treatment in East Sussex is provided by CGL under
the brand STAR. There are 2 hubs - 1 in Eastbourne and 1 in
Hastings and community services are provided in other parts of the
county.
There have been changes in the approach to drug and alcohol
treatment in East Sussex since the previous tender process. This
includes the removal of highly prescriptive outcomes and payment by
results (through a recent waiver). The new service specification
will identify outcomes for service users but the emphasis will be
on the provider to show how these will be delivered. This is
further underlined by a move towards long term recovery, making a
positive contribution, wider integration with their local community
rather than abstinence.
