Effectiveness of Psychosocial Interventions for Adults With Substance Use Disorder That Have a Co‐Occurring Common Mental Health Disorder
A rapid assessment of take-home naloxone provision during Covid-19 in Europe
Through programme innovation supported by public guidelines, many European THN programmes managed to ensure stable or even increased THN provision during the pandemic, despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders affecting client mobility
Perceptions of professional drug treatment staff in England about client barriers to narcotics anonymous attendance
A growing body of research evidence shows that Twelve Step Group (TSG) attendance confers a consistent moderate beneficial effect on substance use. Clinicians potentially represent a major referral pathway to TSG. This qualitative study aimed to explore staff perceptions of the barriers to Narcotics Anonymous (NA) group attendance in a population receiving drug treatment, and potential strategies to increase attendance. A cross-sectional survey o…
What treatment means in practice
There is evidence that treatment for opiate addiction is effective in reducing drug use and offending (Prendergast et al. 2002; Gossop et al. 2003), based on effective combinations of substitution prescribing and evidenced psychosocial treatments (McLellan et al. 1993), yet concerns that few structured interventions are delivered in 'real life' settings. The current study assessed what keyworkers perceive as going on in drug working sessions in t…
Criminal thinking and self-control among drug users in court mandated treatment
This article aims to explore the relationship between self-control and criminal thinking in a population of drug using offenders attending a court mandated treatment programme, and how this relates to recent offending and substance use. Fifty drug using offenders attending a Birmingham Drug Intervention Programme clinic under the terms of a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement (DRR) completed standardized measures of self-control and criminal thinking…
Young people in coerced drug treatment
Although clear relationships have been identified between dependent drug use and crime, the relationship is less evident in young offenders, particularly for less physically dependent users. This study investigated a sample of young drug-using offenders (aged 18–24; n = 36) accessing drug treatment through the criminal justice system in Birmingham, UK, using structured interviews for the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data. It id…
The Hierarchy of Needs and care planning in addiction services
“It is quite true that man lives by bread alone–when there is no bread. But what happens to man's desire when there is plenty of bread and when his belly is chronically filled? At once other (and ‘
Gender differences in risk and treatment uptake in drug using offenders assessed in custody suite settings
The aim of the study was to assess gender differences in risk profile among drug users in police custody in Birmingham and to examine levels of drug treatment engagement by gender. This article presents findings from an assessment of 1082 Arrest Referral Risk Matrices used by Drug Arrest Referral Workers in police custody between 2005 and 2006. Risk is measured on three elements, ‘drug spend’, current offending and arrest history, and three warni…
Developing a method for conducting needs assessments for drug treatment
The article reports on a method for analysing the extent of need for drug treatment in a local area, based on estimated prevalence of problem drug use and treatment uptake. The aim of the project was to develop a method that could be replicated in each commissioning area (referred to as Drug Action Teams) in England to assess treatment need among groups both in contact with and out of treatment. The sources of data used were derived from national…
