| Further information | North Edinburgh Drug and Alcohol Centre, Dual Diagnosis, Complex and Multiple Needs Team was established to work with those clients who struggle to access mainstream treatment and support services due to their presentation and chaotic behaviour as a result of their Dual Diagnosis and how it manifests. We would accept referrals from the Social Work for clients who have direct payment care packages. We are applying for Core funding to broaden our client base, pending positive results we hope to accept open referrals. |
