‘I’m not a lone soldier’ – A multi-disciplinary response to the management and treatment of benzodiazepine use within the general practitioner setting. Ballymun GP Community Partnership Addiction Project

Background Partnership Response; Hosted and situated in the Ballymun Family Practice, Delivered by Ballymun Youth Action Project, Funded by the Ballymun Local Drug & Alcohol Task Force. As a response to a study by the Ballymun Youth Action Project (BYAP) in 2004 entitled Benzodiazepines – Whose Little Helper Explored work by Rolande Anderson (ICGP) in the area of alcohol as a useful template for the development of services to complement GP practices in the area of benzodiazepines. Project commenced 2006; evaluated 2011

KEY project CHARACTERISTICS Accessibility and Engagement - ease of referral system, engages those who would not necessarily attend addiction services Allows for earlier intervention and early warning systems Discreet, non stigmatising Flexibility Allows for integration of medical and psychosocial model (e.g. supported reduction plans) Enhances links within primary health care provision and across local support services when required. Creates a culture of co-operation and intervention beyond benzo use (e.g. alcohol, methadone clients). Assists in the tracking of benzo and Z related issues.

I have taken up someone who is already a patient who was buying on the street and has a heavy problem and where I would have ran from it because I couldn’t cope with it, I agreed to take her on to detox her. And the reason I couldn’t cope with it was because I didn’t feel skilled but I feel if she is in counselling, addiction counselling and committing to that, I feel I can deliver my bit and I feel more secure that I’m not a lone soldier.
