It is recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as an effective element of drug treatment. BUBIC has been running this service since 2000. BUBIC was started by a group of black African male residents who had successfully completed treatment for crack cocaine but recognised a need for an adjunct service run by those who had themselves been through treatment. They also had a strong desire to give back to Haringey for the help they had received.
