Please do not hesitate to contact me, should you require this additional feedback Kind regards Colleen March PALS Patient Advice & Liaison Service Please note, i have a new address: NHS Derby City Derbyshire County PCT NO – See Derby City I have forwarded the email you have sent onto the PALS team for the Derbyshire County & Derby City Cluster. They will be in touch with you soon. With kind regards Clair Shipley, High Peak Locality, North Derbyshire Doncaster PCT NO Substance misuse only Drug Interventions Programme The Drug Interventions Programme focuses on the illicit use of heroin and cocaine by people who have committed a 'trigger' offence, so the scheme is very specific in terms of the clients to whom services are provided. In terms of other illicit drug use our staff would signpost clients or other members of the public to other services. In relation to the substances referred to in the query, we would most likely refer the individual to their GP. New Beginnings In regards to question 4, New Beginnings runs a CBT restructuring programme designed for people seeking support or help due to problematic addiction issues that is able to focus on some of the cognitive issues that would be experienced by people suffering from either assisted withdrawal or detoxification from such drugs. In regards to item 5 there is a website www.drughub.co.uk, which is a local site of information and support for Doncaster services. Substance Misuse Service – Doncaster (The Garage) If this is an iatrogenic problem then we would generally advise the service user to ask their GP to refer to the consultant psychiatrist for a consultation and advice on managed withdrawal by the GP within practice.

Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT NO - See Medway East Riding Of Yorkshire PCT NO Your Request for Information I am writing in response to your recent request that we received on 2 May 2012, in which you requested the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Information Requested: Please can you tell me what services your PCT/CCG provides for patients who are dependent upon prescribed only benzodiazepine and z drug tranquillisers and sleeping tablets and who do not abuse these or other substances. No services are currently provided by NHS East Riding of Yorkshire for patients who are dependent upon prescribed only benzodiazepine and z drug tranquillisers and sleeping tablets and who do not abuse these or other substances. NHS East Riding of Yorkshire is looking to develop a service for 2013/2014 I trust this letter provides a full response to your request, but please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any further assistance. You can find out more information about NHS East Riding of Yorkshire by visiting our website at www.eastridingofyorkshire.nhs.uk. Yours sincerely Emma Parker Corporate Affairs Administration Manager Enfield PCT NO – The only service in London is provided by the long established and experienced tranquilliser project at Camden MIND and this is for Camden and Islington residents only and also is a charity and not an in-house NHS service Gateshead PCT NO – See South Tyneside Gloucestershire PCT NO Our Reference: Freedom of Information request No. 1366/1666, seeking information on Services for Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction, which we received on 23.4.12. I am writing to confirm that the Trust has now finished its search for the information you requested, which was as follows:- ANSWER: Treatment for involuntary tranquiliser addiction is not something that is specifically commissioned in isolation by the PCT or DAAT. Occasionally we receive requests from GPs or other psychiatrists about tranquiliser dependence in people with no other addictions and we would suggest the use of the prodigy website http://www.prodigy.nhs.uk/. This has useful info about associated topics, e.g, insomnia and depression, and is a Heather Ashton product. We are not aware of any local helpline and long term psychological support would not be available in this trust unless there were co-existing mental health problems and/or other addictions. We do recommend the national help lines in our leaflet and suggest people obtain help from Independence Trust as appropriate.
