Derbyshire Recovery Partnership is a partnership between Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, local charity Derbyshire Alcohol Advice Service (DAAS), national charity Phoenix Futures and peer-led organisation Intuitive Thinking Skills.
The partnership will offer a wide range of services to support people to reduce the harm from their substance use, access treatment and move into recovery.
It will also offer advice and help for families and carers who are living with, or supporting, someone with a substance misuse issue.
Derbyshire County Council’s Director of Public Health, Dean Wallace, said: “We are pleased to have commissioned the Derbyshire Recovery Partnership.
"This is a partnership of well-established charities and organisations that have a wealth of experience in providing support, training, education and treatment of alcohol and drugs related issues.
Because the partnership provides a complete range of services it avoids people having to transfer between different organisations and potentially falling out of the system.”
Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will lead on delivering the combined service.
David Hurn, service manager for substance misuse services at the Trust, said: “I’m very excited to be involved with this partnership, which will provide local people with innovative support in a seamless way.
Together, we look forward to working with any Derbyshire residents who need our support to get their lives back on track.”
