3. Knowledge of the Ashton manual. The guidance issued is based on the information in this manual but as you will see is focused on the professional rather than on the patient. 4. Provision of appropriate psychological support throughout what is often a prolonged withdrawal and recovery period of up to a year or more. This is provided by the GP practice however if there concurrent mental health problems patients can be referred to the out IAPT/mental health services as appropriate. The Community drug team will only see people who also are using other illicit drugs. 5. Provision of a help-line. There is no helpline in Stockport 6. Any further details of such referral processes. I hope this information is useful.

Shirley Stephenson Patient Relations Officer NHS Tees Stoke On Trent PCT NO see Staffordshire Suffolk PCT NO – First number unobtainable, Suffolk Recovery Service is for Substance Misuse. Rang them and they have not heard of the Ashton manual. Thank you for your email regarding involuntary tranquiliser addiction. There are 2 options available to you. Firstly you could contact the Tranquilizer Withdrawal Support which is 24 hour service on 01284 702550. Alternatively you can contact Suffolk Recovery Services on: 0808 1783 285 to see if they are able to offer advice and withdrawal support or signpost you to a more appropriate service.

Surrey PCT NO NHS Surrey does not currently commission such a service and this is a gap that has been identified. When undertaking routine inquiries on controlled drugs monitoring the lack of support for patients who have become addicted to prescription drugs has been noted. A survey of GP practices was carried out to gain an understanding of the potential number of patients who have become addicted to their prescribed meds. The feedback indicated that GP’s felt the level of patients addicted to Benzos and Z drugs was equivalent to that of opioid addiction. We understand that GPs are providing support to patients and extra support is available to GPs from the DAAT if the patient is willing to engage. The mental health trust, Surrey and Borders Partnership Trust has indicated that it routinely sees patients addicted to their medication. They are happy to have individual cases referred to them. Whether CCGs would look to commission a specialist service in the future, we don’t know. I hope this is of help. Regards Laura Dennett Public Engagement Manager Communications and Engagement Lead: Surrey Heath Clinical Commssioning Group Sutton and Merton PCT NO Cecilia will also deal with the FOI for Surrey, Richmond, Kingston and Wandsworth. Sutton and Merton do not commission any specific services for prescribed drug dependency; individuals concerned about such dependency should discuss the matter with the prescriber who is normally the General Practitioner Thank you for your request for information about Services for involuntary traquilliser addiction.
