Structured Treatment

Day Programme

The Structured Treatment Day Programme is a community-based development which WDP runs from its Harrow Road project. It is run in conjunction with the Home Office's Drug Intervention Programme (DIP), which works with people who have been arrested for a drug related offence and seeks to break the cycle between drugs and offending. The programme is not abstinence based. It will prepare Clients to go on to abstinence based tier 3 and 4 services, such as residential rehab.

Referral Criteria:
1. All clients must be residents of the boroughs of Westminster or Kensington and Chelsea.
2. Clients must be signed up to a DIP or on a DRR.
3. Clients do not need to be abstinent to access this service.
