IPS INADDICTIONS RECOVERY
Kyriacos Colocassis – Vocational Project Manager
Agenda• Introduction to the Individual Placement & Support
(IPS) and Key Performance Indicators• IPS compared with traditional Supported Employment
methods (Pre-Vocational Training)• Effective implementation of IPS
- Associated Challenges, within Addictions- Employer Engagement- Outcomes achieved by the Addictions Team- Cost
SO WHAT IS IPS?• The Individual Placement & Support model• An evidence-based model of employment support• Originally implemented in the US to support people
with mental health problems• At the start of our project, IPS had only been used
once before in the UK with an addictions client group• CNWL is a Centre of Excellence in IPS services
Central Tenets of the IPS Model1. Eligibility is based on individual choice;
2. Supported employment is integrated with treatment;
3. Competitive employment is the goal; (Not sheltered placements or volunteering)
4. Rapid job search (within 4 weeks), minimal prevocational training
5. Job finding, and all assistance, is individualised;
6. Employers are approached with the needs of individuals in mind
7. Follow-along supports are continuous;
8. Financial planning is provided
BenefitsIPS interventions have been proven through research to provide statistically significantly better outcomes compared to other forms of employment support.
Measurable Outcomes:
• Time employed/job sustained• Earnings• Likelihood of dropping out of service/rehospitalisation• Percentage of service users entering competitive employment
Burns, Tom et al (2007), The Effectiveness of Supported Employment for People with Severe Mental Illness: A Randomised Controlled Trial, Lancet 370, 1146-52.

IPS SMI (7 sites)'Work Choice Mild to Moderate *Work Choice SMI *
Challenges • Picking up prescriptions when in employment, changing
pharmacies and arranging appointments with key worker around employment hours
• Discrimination; not covered by disability legislation. (Equality Act 2010 explicitly excludes addiction).
• Chaotic, non stable lifestyles, ESs have to work with that in mind
• Forensic history• Gaps on CV• Physical problems caused by substance use• Erratic attendance
Challenges
• Legal limitations on driving, while on replacement medication and company limitations on operating heavy machinery etc
• Zero exclusion and Key Workers• Inappropriate referrals – i.e. not seeking employment• Discharge before reaching vocational goal• Disengagement• Clients likely to miss appointments • When engaging in treatment, many find it necessary to detach
themselves from their former lives, i.e. drug using friends – leading to isolation
Employer Engagement – Addictions• Target driven – face to face employer engagement and
client interview targets as well as project targets for employment outcomes
• Working with employers around managing risk, reasonable adjustments, unlimited follow along support, mental health and drug awareness training
• All clients have return to work and relapse prevention plans• Autonomy for ESs managing their own caseload within IPS
guidelines• Support in supervision sessions around employer
engagement
Keys to successful implementation in the team:• Building a local shared vision for IPS implementation• Team presentations and training• Clear role with key performance indicators (ideally 1 ES per
team)• Being clear that the priority is paid employment not voluntary
work or training• Agreement around the role of the ES and what we mean by IPS
Fidelity• Clear supervision mechanisms in place: needs met jointly
through Vocational and Clinical Services supervision
