Theory
 Moving beyond “us and them”
 Outcomes not modalities
 Segmentation
 Ambition
2
The 2008 National Drug Strategy
The goal of all treatment is for drug users to achieve abstinence from their drug
– or drugs – of dependency
Too many drug users relapse, do not complete treatment programmes, or stay
in treatment for too long before re-establishing their lives
We will examine how we can best support those leaving and planning to leave
treatment with packages of support to access housing, education, training and
employment
