This publication presents findings from a survey of individuals with experience of using drugs, undertaken as part of the PHS evaluation of the National Drug Deaths Mission.
The survey aimed to explore:
- their views on the support currently available to them, including from Alcohol and Drug Recovery Services
- their views as to whether the support offer from services has got better or worse over the last two years
The survey provides some evidence which suggests that the support experience may have improved. However, the survey findings also suggest that there are substantial ongoing challenges and scope to improve the support offer.
