The Scottish Recovery and Residential Providers Group was convened in March 2020 by SRC to explore providers of residential care from across the country coming together as a body to form a community of practice dedicated to improving treatment for those experiencing substance use issues, bring residential providers closer to the commissioning and treatment systems in place across Scotland and collaborate to provide quality improvement and contingency response during Covid-19 Pandemic.
In our first year we have collaborated successfully with Scottish Government, the Drugs Death Task Force and the Scottish Recovery Consortium to create and deliver a number of lifesaving and life-changing opportunities. The Early Release from Prison to Residential Rehabilitation Pathway, the Scottish Government Working Group on Residential Care and the Continuum of Recovery for Near Fatal Overdose Test of Change are all examples of our work over the previous year.
