"My drug worker did get me some appointments with a nutritionist "

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Addiction services (community)

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I have had problems with heroin use for the last 7 years. and have had a couple of drug workers before. I now see a Direct Access at Newark hospital and have to go to the chemist to collect my methadone.

I have had a few health problems, some of which have been contributed to by poor nutrition. My drug worker did get me some appointments with a nutritionist which was really helpful. The most positive thing for me is the relationship I have with my worker, I feel he is really there to support me and if he can't help he will find someone who can help me.

All in all I don't think the care I have received could be made any better.
