From Dependency to Work: Addressing the Multiple Needs of Offenders with Drug Problems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This report presents the findings from one of the first evaluations of a British program to integrate drug and alcohol treatment with mental health services, education, training and employment support the From Dependency to Work (D2W) program. It provides an invaluable insight into the challenges and difficulties of integrating services in this way and highlights important lessons for central and regional government on funding and working with the voluntary sector to deliver services. With the recent launch of the Drug Interventions Program (DIP), designed to get statutory and voluntary sector agencies working together to tackle the social factors associated with drug misuse and crime, stakeholders across the country will need to develop effective multi-disciplinary working in this field. This report provides all those involved, from a strategic level to frontline practitioners, with a clearer understanding of the issues. (REPORT)
