Useful information for patients who are homeless in Lincoln

The A & E Department sees some homeless people who have problems with alcohol or drugs. If you are one of them then there are several things we can do for you:

  • Check that your blood sugar level is within normal range
  • Treat you with vitamins if you are in a confused or drowsy state
  • Offer you a prescription for vitamins if you are in danger of a severe deficiency
  • Also refer you to Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership who help support individuals of drug and alcohol abuse.

Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership (previously ‘We are with you’) provides confidential advice, support and treatment on drug and alcohol misuse for adults and young people and their families.  The service is embedded throughout the Lincolnshire community and includes outreach services.
