S.T.A.R (System Treatment and Recovery)

The STAR (System Treatment and Recovery) is a new project that has been awarded funding by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) to bring together a One Team approach to providing wrap around support and engagement to people rough sleeping or in temporary accommodation in Exeter, who are experiencing substance misuse challenges but are not yet engaged with relevant services. The whole team will work using a MEAM, trauma informed approach.

• Increase capacity in system to offer intensive intervention when an individual has a treatable moment
• Build on existing excellent practice
• Developing current relationships/collaborations
• Strengthen an alliance of organisations with a future vision
