  1. Current Approach • Drug Treatment is focussed on improving recovery capital (housing, training, employment, relationships etc.) as part of pharmacological and psycho-social therapeutic interventions. • Offending is a clear barrier to recovery and is generally an indication of other chaotic behaviour (such as ongoing illicit drug use). • Clients are classified as being on the ‘DIP’ (drug intervention programme) caseload if: • They have been referred from custody following a positive drug test or a voluntary referral following arrest. • They have been signposted to treatment on release from prison. • They have been taken onto the caseload as part of a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement (DRR) • Treatment is not significantly different to that of the wider treatment population but the offending behaviour is challenged as part of regular intervention. • During the mandatory attendance the aim of the DIP worker is to engage the client into treatment.

  2. Current Approach • Clients are removed from the DIP caseload if there is no declared or proven offending in the last 6 months or if someone fails to engage in treatment. They are simply closed on that system and will remain in general treatment caseload as required. Or: • Clients that fail to fail to turn up following referral are closed and there is a process to initiate breach action where the referral is mandatory. • Currently 113 (12% of clients) clients recorded as being actively engaging on the DIP caseload • Alcohol treatment services work with approximately 55-60 clients subject to an ATR at any given time.
