Résumé : |
ENGLISH : The effects of drug misuse are felt by everyone as drug problems fuel crime and anti- social behaviour. Some significant progress in tackling the problem has been made. Clinically effective programmes are now in place to help get problem drug users off illegal drugs for good. Even so, drug abuse remains deep-rooted and continues to blight the lives of individuals and disrupt communities. The principal reason is that those users causing the severest difficulties have a set of complex and usually interrelated social and psychological problems. These need to be treated as a whole if they are to get the best chance of starting, completing and sustaining recovery successfully. In practice, the focus at the moment is on treating the addiction rather than on providing the wider range of support needed to bring some order to drug users' often chaotic lives. The facts speak for themselves. One in three problem drug users are homeless or in need of housing support. Their long term drugs issues often start at a young age. They struggle to get benefits and access to the range of services needed to support a more stable lifestyle. Many have mental health problems and over half of newly committed prisoners are classified as problem drug users. Some users who have embarked on treatment can rely on others for support. But many face this challenge alone. Too often they simply drop oft the recovery path. Thirty-four per cent of drug users leaving treatment drop out within the first twelve weeks, losing contact with support organisations and often slipping back into old behaviours. This report looks beyond community treatment to determine how well the national drug strategy is being delivery locally. To improve local performance, some recommandations are aimed at gouvernment and national agencies. (Extract of the publication) |
