Custody and Case Management
The Custody and Case Management workers operate mainly within police investigation centres (PIC's) and Magistrates Courts - providing a service to those who are going through the criminal justice system. Workers are located across Norfolk they case manage clients and support them to achieve recovery from a lifestyle of drugs and offending.
Workers offer a service to anyone who has been arrested and needs help with drug or alcohol misuse.
We help in the following ways:
- Assessment of substance misuse and related needs - helping clients to reduce their drug use
- Referral to services including counselling, prescribing and other health checks
- Advice on reducing harm and relapse prevention
- Offer pathways to Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRR's)
- Give help and information about other related issues such as housing and benefits
We primarily support individuals in the community before sentence. If someone receives a prison sentence or is remanded they can be referred to a drugs worker in prison.
