Providing evidence and targeted solutions to tackle drug and alcohol problems
Meeting your objectives
Effective drug and alcohol policies are dependent on having a full and objective understanding of the scope, scale and nature of the challenges and then being able to develop appropriate, targeted solutions to deal with them.
Perpetuity provides a range of research and consultancy services designed to help professionals responsible for drugs and alcohol policy and projects to have the right data at their disposal and to be able to make the right decisions.
Ways we can help
Whether you are looking to audit your local drug market to understand trends, evaluate initiatives designed to tackle substance misuse or improve your current service delivery and/or commissioning arrangements, our team can help. Our areas of expertise include:
Audits – establishing trends and patterns in drug and alcohol use
Service reviews – establishing how services are performing and where gaps exist
Needs assessments – assessing the needs of specific groups
Solution implementation – providing assistance with strategy development and implementation, action plans, service planning and commissioning
Consultation – obtaining the views of local communities, drug and alcohol users, young people and hard-to-reach groups
Partnership development – offering partnership reviews/ health checks and support to ensure continuous improvement
Evaluations – assessing performance and outcomes so as to inform decision-making on desirable improvements, activity expansion and additional funding.
The Perpetuity promise
Clients benefit from our extensive experience of developing appropriate solutions in a variety of contexts at local, regional and national level.
Our researchers and consultants have excellent academic credentials, bringing rigorous research methodologies to their approach, coupled with a broad range of practical experience.

"Bedfordshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team commissioned Perpetuity to provide the BDAT Needs Assessment 2007-08. This piece of work formed the basis for our Treatment Plan 2008-09, providing a review of provision, identification of local need and recommendations for commissioning priorities around substance misuse in Bedfordshire.
Perpetuity provide a well planned systematic approach to the needs assessment process, providing a clear brief and project plan, clear timeframes, and excellent assessment tools. They engage extremely well with a broad range of stakeholders, providers and service users and carers. They are supportive, professional and extremely approachable providing a high standard of work. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to other commissioners of Substance Misuse Services."
