RISE stands for ‘Recovery and Integration Service’ and is a partnership between Addaction and EDP Drug and Alcohol Services. RISE is commissioned by Devon County Council until April 2018 to provide adult community substance misuse services. Addaction is responsible for the overall performance of the contract. They are also the CQC registered activity provider for the regulated activity of treatment of disease, disorder, or injury. Addaction holds the registration for three sites in Devon referred to, for the purposes of CQC as Addaction RISE.
Addaction sub-contracts to EDP who manage premises, information technology and learning and development. Addaction employs all of the managers, administrators, clinical staff, family workers, life-skills workers and a volunteer co-ordinator. EDP employ team leaders, recovery workers, practice development leads and a peer mentor co-ordinator. Addaction reviews the performance of EDP in relation to their contractual requirements through quarterly meetings, which focus on premises, learning and development and information technology. Addaction manages the performance of all RISE staff, through Addaction’s policy and governance frameworks.
