Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Grant (DATRIG)

The Supplementary Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Grant (SSMTRG), Rough Sleepers Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant (RSDATG), and Individual Placement Support (IPS) programme collectively enhance core adult substance misuse services by providing targeted additional capacity, specialist workforce roles, and associated operational support. SSMTRG strengthens wider prevention, treatment, and recovery provision through expanded staffing, lived experience delivery, clinical interventions, and infrastructure, while RSDATG focuses specifically on individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness, funding assertive outreach, clinical care, and tailored engagement to improve access and outcomes. The IPS programme complements treatment by offering intensive, structured employment support to help individuals secure and sustain work, delivered through a defined, high-fidelity model. Across all three programmes, funding covers staffing, clinical and operational costs, and central support functions, with a strong emphasis on flexibility (where applicable), performance management, and partnership working to ensure services respond to demand and deliver positive outcomes for residents.
