FOI Request - Alcohol and Drug Treatment

Request 101003087644

We are collating data about residential drug and alcohol services by local authority area over the last ten years.

The following questions apply to drug or alcohol services. Where possible we would like the answers split into inpatient detox and residential rehab as two separate categories. If that is not possible then please provide a combined figure.

We have asked for data over the last ten years to allow us to analyse trends over time. If this is not possible then please provide the most recent figures possible over the widest timeframe.

If these questions do not apply to your local authority area then we would appreciate it if you could inform us of that.

The Alcohol & Drug Partnership (ADP) does not hold records of residential rehab placements as this is organised by the NHS Public service provider - MIDAS in collaboration with the third sector service Arrows. In accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 please be advised that therefore this information is not held.
