This submission outlines the work undertaken by Community Employment Drug Project, highlights difficulties experienced and makes recommendations for a re-focused service.

Community Employment Drugs Projects aim to develop and deliver appropriate and relevant rehabilitation services for drug users in their communities.

Drug rehabilitation services:
• Provide supports and services to people who are in treatment to enhance the effectiveness of treatment
• Work with people in identifying their progression needs in relation to personal supports, family support, education and training etc.
• Facilitate access for people to whatever options are required in integrating them back into normal community life
• Provide ongoing support for people as they move from treatment to other options
