From 1 July 2018, there are changes to how drug and alcohol detoxification is provided in Surrey. Inpatient services are moving out of Windmill House and a greater range of treatment options in the community is being offered. Access to inpatient services is being offered out of county.
We provided details on the current home and community detoxifications and a new service, ambulatory detoxification (where people attend a clinic every day to receive detoxification medication and support), to be offered at two venues across Surrey, and new options for inpatient detoxification i.e. at Bridge House in Kent.
We had 87 online responses to the consultation survey during the consultation period which ran from 19 March 2018 until 20 May 2018. 56% agreed they had been given enough information to clearly understand the models of delivery, however, they did not feel confident that the changes would suit their needs. In addition we received responses from the four public meetings, attended by 36 individuals, and specific responses from Transform Housing and Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Surrey County Council (Public Health) and Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SABP) are consulting people about changes to drug and alcohol detoxification services for adults, including community and inpatient provision.
From June 2018, we are changing how drug and alcohol detoxification is provided in Surrey. We are moving inpatient services out of the current facility (Windmill House) and providing a greater range of treatment options in the community. Access to inpatient services if required will be offered out of county.
We want to make sure Surrey residents have access to high quality, evidence based care and support which considers both individual care and assessment needs and people’s personal wishes and aspirations.

The aim of this consultation is to ensure anyone who could be affected by the changes we are proposing has the opportunity to review them and input to their development.
We are consulting on your thoughts and concerns regarding the proposed provision of detoxification from June 2018 in Surrey, including location of services; access and individual support needs. This will inform how we shape substance misuse treatment services in Surrey now and in the longer term.
Why are we transforming detoxification services in Surrey now?
The timing of the transformation of detoxification services is based on a number of factors:
Therefore, Public Health and SABP in partnership with clinicians and expertise from across Clinical Commissioning Groups and Adult Social Care have reviewed the options for delivery of this service to ensure it is proportionate, appropriate and flexible to the needs of Surrey residents.
Throughout the consultation we will aim to respond to all queries within three working days if by email, or 10 working days of receipt, if by post.
All feedback will be reviewed and considered as we continue to co-design substance misuse services in Surrey.
If you respond to the survey and leave your email address we will send out a summary sheet which identifies how we plan to take your feedback on board, this will also be shared on Surrey Consultation Hub. All direct comments received during the consultation period will be considered and responded to.
