Drug (Opiates) Service: Sheffield Treatment and Recovery Team

The service is based at the Fitzwilliam Centre but is registered with the Care Quality Commission at Trust Headquarters, Fulwood House.

The Drug (Opiates) Service offers assessment, support and interventions to those aged 18yrs+ using any opiate drug. There are naturally occurring opiates like heroin and morphine and synthetic (man-made) opiates like methadone and buprenorphine.  A range of treatment options are offered once a comprehensive assessment has been completed including substitute prescribing and psycho-social interventions (PSI).

The service also offers a drop-in needle exchange, a specialist wound-care clinic, harm reduction advice and support.

The Drug (Opiates) Service works co-operatively with mental health teams where individuals have co-existing mental illness to provide a comprehensive package of care (CPA) to manage risk in accordance with established risk management policy.
