How to access the Wakefield and District Alcohol Team’s services
You can access our services by contacting the team yourself the number is listed below. Or you can ask your GP or another professional such as a social worker, probation worker or nurse to make a referral on your behalf. Referral can be made over the phone or by completing a referral form and returning it to the team by post or fax.
Once the team have all the info they need they will organise an initial assessment appointment where appropriate treatment can be discussed with the service user.
The only changes to this process occur when a person is involved in either the Criminal Justice or Primary Care aspect of the scheme. You can speak to the team to find out more about this.
