About Us

The North Lanarkshire Alcohol and other Drugs Crisis Outreach Service provides support to individuals over the age of 16. The service model is based on Overdose response Teams, and it delivers support through three main components:

• Overdose response – the team responds to individuals who have had or are at risk of overdose within 24‑48hours of notification.
• Assertive outreach – we "meet people where they are at" to ensure access to the support and services required.
• Crisis response – a partnership with housing colleagues to work with anyone at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

• Provide practical and emotional support to individuals with a wide range of support needs.
• Encourage clients to achieve personal outcomes across daily life aspects such as safety, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health, and wellbeing.
