Drug and Alcohol Treatment in England 2016/17

Updating the previous year’s “really brilliant analysis” (Professor Susanne MacGregor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), our analysis of the performance of England’s drug and alcohol treatment system up to 2016/17. With the help of 21 charts, it examines the falling numbers, ageing caseloads, the puzzle of waning success with opiate users but increasing with drinkers, the steep drop in new young opiate patients, and how deeply treatment has penetrated the population of dependent opiate users and drinkers.
