Conference overview

In April 2011 the funding for drug treatment in prisons passed from the MOJ to the DOH and with it the responsibility to commission these services passed to local partnerships. Many of those with the commissioning responsibility are new to the prison setting and are stepping into unfamiliar territory.

Some of the questions dealt with are:

What works in prison?
How does the prison system itself work?
What opportunities are there to deliver recovery focused treatment?
What are the challenges to working within a prison environment?

The main target group for the conference is those newly responsible for commissioning substance misuse treatment in prisons. The conference will focus on the non-clinical aspects of substance use treatment in prisons. Recovery in prisons is not new. There are many examples of people finding freedom from dependency during their time spent in prison. The conference aims to explore examples of good practice in recovery in prisons in the UK today, explore the risks and opportunities for enhancing recovery through local commissioning and explore what can be done to enhance the recovery journey of those in the prison system.

Chandos House is an exclusive Grade 1 listed Georgian Townhouse venue, built by the Adam family between 1769 and 1771. This impressive Central London venue is located in the heart of London's medical quarter, between Portland Place, Oxford Circus and the fashionable Marylebone Village; it is also just five minutes walk from the Oxford Circus tube station.

Restored to its original splendour yet retaining many of the renowned Adam architectural features, the House now offers five principal function rooms, each with its own unique character and ambience. All of our rooms have natural daylight and there is a charming outdoor walled Garden Terrace, which provides a tranquil haven in Central London.
