Drug and Alcohol Information

How can I contribute to my local treatment services?

Question:

As someone who has used local alcohol services, how can I tell you what I thought?

Answer:

Talk with our user-led involvement service

As a user or carer of a user of services, your opinion about those services / how you accessed them and how useful they were to you is very important to us. Your information will help us in the design of new services and the modernisation or improvement of those services that are already available.

Warwickshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team have contracted with an independant voluntary sector organisation, called Voices 4 Choices, to consult with users on our behalf. They will listen to what you have to say about services, how easy they were to find, whether they helped you or your carer, if they helped you stop drinking and if they responded to you in a timely manner.

Voices 4 Choices are setup as a user led service, setup for current service users and ex service users. The purpose of the service is to encourage and enable people to become involved in the way current and future services are planned, commissioned delivered and evaluated. They seek to enable people who have used services to have their say about those services and so to contribute to service improvement.

The service will ensure that equal opportunities are given to all those who want to become involved.

You can get in touch with Voices 4 Choices by visiting their website, or by looking under 'V' on our more information page.

If you are a carer for someone who uses or has used substance misuse services, or have sought help and advice for yourself in your caring role, then please contact John Copping, the Carer's Empowerment Worker who will put you in touch with carer's groups, services or commissioners locally.

John can be contacted by telephone on 01926 403966 or via email at john.copping@dsl.pipex.com
