The London Drug Agency

Blenheim CDP is a leading substance misuse charity working across London to reduce the harm caused by drug misuse to individuals and the public.  We provide an opportunity and help for people to end their dependency on drugs. We believe in people's capacity to change and this belief is central to everything we do.

Smart Recovery

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Smart Recovery UK to start running meetings at four of our services in Greenwich, Bexley, Southwark and Haringey.  

Crack, Cocaine, Stimulant Drugs

Blenheim CDP is England's leading provider of specialist treatment services for those using cocaine and other stimulant drugs.  17% of those entering treatment in London for primary crack cocaine use are in a Blenheim CDP service.

ITEP: International Treatment Effectiveness Project

We are now offering an ITEP training and consultancy programme so that other organisations can benefit from our skill and knowledge in this area. For more details please see visit our ITEP Training page

ITEP is part of the National Treatment Agency's treatment effectiveness strategy and is a collaboration between the NTA, the Institute of Behavioral Research (IBR) in Texas, Blenheim CDP and service providers in north-west England. For the past three years all Blenheim CDP staff have been trained to use ITEP psycho-social interventions which are now used extensively in both one-to-one and group work settings helping clients and key-workers to address the thinking patterns that can be barriers to changing behaviour.

ITEP is a highly effective method of implementing psychosocial interventions, which uses a care planning approach (referred to as mapping) in the form of a manual.  Research shows a range of significant positive outcomes including, better client key worker rapport, better engagement in treatment and improved peer support.
