START-Whitby Street Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services
Support at START-Whitby Street is delivered entirely in the community, which is the only level of care recorded here, built around structured recovery support alongside diagnostic and screening services for adults dealing with drug or alcohol dependency. Treatment here is community-based, so residential detox or rehab beds are not part of what’s offered at this Hartlepool address.
In practice that means assessment and ongoing recovery support delivered by the Foundations team in Hartlepool; anyone wanting specifics on what a typical care plan looks like should ask the service directly rather than assume a fixed programme applies to everyone.

How Much Does Treatment at START-Whitby Street Cost?
Treatment at START-Whitby Street is NHS and local-authority funded, delivered by Foundations as a publicly commissioned community substance misuse service, so there is no private fee to budget for here. A privately funded substitute elsewhere would be its own chargeable arrangement rather than something available here.
A typical course of support is likely to start with an assessment, followed by regular one-to-one or group sessions, though the exact mix depends on individual need and is best confirmed with the team directly.
