Current work in drug treatment and social re-integration

Page content

Work is taking place to:

• Help drug users and their families have their say about drug services so that we can work with them to make improvements.
• Make sure services work well together so that people can quickly and easily get the right range of services for their individual needs.
• Focus more on those services that help people move on from a life dominated by drugs, for example becoming abstinent; getting and living in their own home; getting a new job; rebuilding family relationships; and, finding new interests.
• Make sure these services are accessible to all people living in Newcastle whatever their background.
• Make sure that people who work with drug users have the right skills and knowledge to provide excellent services.
