Treatment Engagement and Healthcare Utilization Outcomes from a Mixed Methods Study of the Implementation of Alcohol Assertive Outreach in the North West of England

Qualitative results indicate that AAOT has a relative advantage over interventions offered by specialist addiction treatment services due to the persistent, informal, outreach-based and person-centred approach adopted to engage a cohort facing complex and largely unmet needs.
