Our ambition is for fewer people to use drugs in the first place, but for those that do - and who then experience problems - we want to help them to stop and to live a life free from dependence. Our overall aims therefore remain to reduce all illicit and other harmful drug use, and increase the rate of individuals recovering from their dependence. But we want to go further, and achieve our greater ambition both for progress against these aims as well as against a broader set of indicators which reflect the partnership approach that needs to be taken to tackle drug misuse and its harms.
