About the Project
Dechrau Newydd Criminal Justice Support Programme is based across multiple locations across North Wales and aims to engage those at risk of offending or who are involved in the Criminal Justice system. We support users to reduce offending, improve their health and social functioning, engage with multi-agency support, and make sustainable lifestyle changes.
Who do we support?
We offer support to those at risk of offending or who are involved in the Criminal Justice system aged 18 and over.
How do we do it?
We work closely with current community providers to ensure the transfer of care from prison services, police and probation, health care and treatment services into wider recovery support. Dechrau Newydd provides Opiate Substitute Therapy (methadone/ oral lyophilisate (Espranor)) and buprenorphine pro-longed release injection (Buvidal) for 12 weeks after release from prison, and to individuals who have been sentenced to a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement.
We also offer dedicated assessment and interventions, including :
- Recovery care planning
- Group activities
- Health and Wellbeing
- Harm Reduction
- Recovery, and mutual aid services to those involved within the Criminal Justice system
