EVIDENCE-BASED DRUG TREATMENT

That this House welcomes the progress made to improve the availability and quality of drug treatment and the contribution made by drug service providers to the health and well-being of the nation; recognises that drug treatment is cost-effective and brings significant benefits to individuals, families, neighbourhoods and communities; believes that an effective treatment system must provide a range of evidence-based services, as different approaches will suit different people at different points in their journey out of drug dependency; and urges hon. Members to commit to continued public investment in drug treatment, informed by the best available research.
