Steps Together: The Accredited Partner Programme
In the ever-evolving landscape of addiction and mental health treatment, accessibility is paramount. Recognising this need, Steps Together has launched its innovative Accredited Partner Programme. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between individuals seeking non-residential (outpatient) treatment and the countless amount of healthcare professionals dedicated to assisting them in their journey to recovery.
Understanding the Accredited Partner Programme
As Steps Together continues to expand, it’s committed to providing new clients, former clients, and their families with comprehensive access to outpatient treatment services. The overarching goal is to ensure clients can sustain long-term recovery from addiction and mental health challenges by facilitating connections with a diverse range of accredited healthcare professionals.
At the heart of this initiative is the FREE Outpatient Directory, a user-friendly online resource designed to allow clients to easily search for our accredited partners. This directory not only includes internal providers but also external professionals who can support clients in their recovery journey.
