Book
- Drug treatment demand data - Influence on policy and practice (2006) [2006]

The Pompidou Group has advocated the systematic and routine collection
of information on patients entering treatment for problem drug use (treatment
demand data) since the mid-1980s. Two decades later, the question now
being asked is whether or not this data has been used as evidence in
the development of policies and practices [Council of Europe]

Paper 2 - Social Care & Drug Users in Ireland
|
|
This paper examines the provision of formal i.e. specialist treatment
services & drug agencies and generic social care services for problem
drug users in Ireland. It will be seen that problem drug users (such
as Jim and John), and people affected by the drug use of others, are
a significant part of the workload of social care service providers [Drug

Study on the
legal aspects of substitution treatment for opioid dependent drug users
: an insight into nine European countries
|
|
Because little is known about the regulation of substitution treatment
in the EU-countries, the EMCDDA commissioned a research project in addition
to the forementioned study. It was granted to the Catholic University
of Leuven (KULeuven), Belgium, the main purpose being to focus specifically
on laws and other regulations with regard to substitution treatment and
their implication(s) on practices in several EU countries. The following
is an outline of this research project and the general conclusions mentioned
in the final report.

Prescribing
heroin: what is the evidence?
|
|
Until recently, the UK was the only country in the world that allowed
doctors to prescribe heroin for the treatment of opiate dependence. The
Government wants heroin prescribing to increase and to be made available
to all those who have a clinical need for it. This report, by Gerry Stimson
and Nicky Metrebian from the Centre for Research on Drugs and Health
Behaviour at Imperial College, looks at the reasons for international
interest in prescribing heroin. It critically examines the research,
clinical, political and practical challenges to expanding heroin prescribing
in the UK

as primary substances of abuse in their reporting to TEDS. In these 47
States, methamphetamine was the primary drug in 86% of the combined methamphetamine/

Drug
Treatment in the Criminal Justice Syste
|
|
It is clear that we need to understand what happens as correctional
agencies bring drug treatment into their systems. There are, perhaps,
conflicting expectations, systems constraints, and philosophies. There
are yet-to-be-specified roles that federal agencies might play to assist
the integration of treatment into corrections

Improving
the Link Between Research and Drug Treatment in Correctional Settings
Drug Treatment
|
|
According to some estimates, only 61 percent of state correctional facilities
provide substance abuse treatment. Despite a significant infusion of
federal funds to support residential substance abuse treatment in prisons,
the percentage of state prisoners participating in such programs declined
from 25 percent in 1991 to 10 percent in 1997. The policy shortfall is
clear: Inmates with substance abuse problems may not be receiving the
treatment that would reduce their drug problems and criminal behavior.
Why they are not getting treatment remains largely unknown. One possibility
is simply a lack of political or correctional interest in providing drug
treatment. But an equally plausible explanation is a lack of sufficient
funding

How Much
Can Treatment Reduce National Drug Problems?

Treatment can justify itself in terms of reductions in harms to individuals
and communities. However, even treatment systems that offer generous
access to good quality services will leave a nation with substantial
drug problem [RAND, USA]
