HMP Wormwood Scrubs

Service delivered in prison

Wormwood Scrubs is a Category B men’s prison in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, West London. We deliver psychosocial substance misuse services at this prison.

How we help

We offer a range of psychosocial interventions to help clients address their substance misuse.

Programmes

Stepping Stones Drug and Alcohol – a low-medium intensity intervention for those whose alcohol or drug consumption is at harmful or dependent levels
1:1 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) sessions; introduction to CBT workshop
Family service – our Family Workers sit within treatment teams, helping residents strengthen relationships with family, friends and wider social networks
Family Ties – a course of workshops focused on restoring healthy communication and trust between loved ones

Further interventions

We offer a wide range of standalone workshops and in-cell packs aimed at harm minimisation, risk reduction, and relapse prevention
Naloxone training

At HMP Wormwood Scrubs, we have a ‘Incentivised Living Landing’ or Clean Living Landing’, commissioned by the Ministry of Justice, which provides a space for clients who have undergone the required programmes to address their substance misuse and continue to work on their recovery. We also intend to deliver our holistic therapies there, such as acupuncture, along with additional weekend mutual aid sessions once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
