Responding to Drug Misuse provides a unique insight into the
current shape of the drugs treatment system in England.
Reporting findings from research linked to the government's ten
year drugs strategy Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain, the
book places these in the context of policy, practice, and service
development. It goes on to discuss the implications of these
findings for the government s new strategy Drugs: Protecting
Families and Communities. Throughout the book contributors reflect
on current debates on drug strategies and social policy and
consider the relevance of the findings for policy and practice.
Topics discussed include:
- recent trends in drug policy and how these link to crime
- responses of dedicated drug treatment services
- service users' perceptions and suggestions for improvement
- the impact of drug misuse on children, families and
communities.
This timely addition to the literature on drug misuse will be
essential for substance use practitioners, including social
workers, psychiatrists, psychologists and nurses. It will also
supply helpful guidance for health and social care commissioners
and policy providers.
