If we have serious drug misusers, basically, we have to try and look after them and improve their health. |
We know this because we have listened and considered opinions of service providers and to the individual stories of misusers and their families. |
Our study never aimed to provide figures but focussed on individual stories from misusers and their families. |
The introduction of an alcohol referral scheme is being looked at with increased provision for alcohol misusers. |
Offenders convicted of drugs supply who are themselves habitual misusers, and are otherwise suitable for a community sentence, should also be considered. |
The drug testing schemes will identify problematic drug misusers early and help them into treatment. |
