North Tyneside Recovery Partnership – CNTW037

What we do

The North Tyneside Recovery Partnership (NTRP) is a dedicated service for anyone in North Tyneside, who is experiencing problems with drugs and/or alcohol. The service does not have any age restrictions therefore is able to provide support to those of all ages. We are here to help you get well and stay well. We believe recovery from addiction and substance misuse is possible for everyone, and we’re here to help you achieve it. Our aim is to make recovery a reality in North Tyneside – whether you’re dealing with problematic drug and/or alcohol use or helping support others that are.

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust are the lead provider in partnership with Turning Point and Changing Lives.

We offer the following support which is tailored to help you on your recovery journey:

  • Abstinence Programmes – group and community based programmes including our 12 step non-residential rehabilitation programme Oaktrees
  • Medical support including prescription of substitute medications and supporting detoxification programmes
  • Psychosocial Interventions to support you in your recovery
  • Harm Reduction – advice, support and the provision of needle exchange
  • Recovery Support – ongoing support to help and maintain your recovery

How can NTRP help me?

Whatever your experience and whatever stage you’re at, we can help you plan a route towards recovery and well-being. We can work with anyone who resides within the North Tyneside locality.

NTRP is here for anyone, any age who:

  • Worries about their substance misuse (drinking and/or drug use)
  • Feels their drinking or drug use is out of control and affects their life
  • Needs help to build links with other agencies because of medical or mental health problems because of their drinking or drug use
  • Thinks their drinking or drug use could be having negative effects on them as an individual or their family and friends
  • Has been directed to us from Criminal Justice System
  • Has been directed to us by another professional (with consent)

What happens next?

Once we’ve got your name and contact details you’ll then be contacted by one of our support workers to triage and take some further information. Following this you will be offered a comprehensive assessment (if appropriate) where more detailed information will be taken. An allocation to the appropriate team will follow. You will have a dedicated key worker who will support you throughout your recovery journey alongside the wider multi-disciplinary team.
