Capability framework for the drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce
NHS England is not responsible for content on external websites.
Summary
While some drug and alcohol roles and settings were out of scope of the development of this capability framework, the capabilities in the framework are applicable to other drug and alcohol roles and settings, notably drug and alcohol treatment in secure settings.
There may be additional setting-specific capabilities or considerations which need to be developed and addressed when adapting these resources, and some capabilities may need to be removed to meet the needs of the workforce in other settings.
