State of the Sector 2013 - by DrugScope on behalf of the Recovery Partnership
This survey, conducted by DrugScope on behalf of the Recovery Partnership in September and October 2013, took a snapshot of the current conditions for and adaptation of the drug and alcohol treatment sector in England. Given the scope of changes to funding and commissioning structures effective from April 2013, the survey was aimed at helping to establish a narrative of change in the sector – both for services, and the people who use them. The survey was primarily for local managers of adult community and residential drug and / or alcohol treatment services although anyone could participate if they were able to provide information about an individual service. Following the initial online survey, we contacted a number of service / project managers and Chief Executives for short telephone interviews to gain more detailed information in response to emerging findings. The results will inform the priorities of DrugScope and the Recovery Partnership over the coming year.
