Local authorities and service providers are able to apply for the funding to support recovery-focused projects and should contact their PHE centre for more information. PHE recently announced the availability of £10 million of new capital funding for recovery-focussed drug and alcohol services in England. The Department of Health (DH) technical consultation proposed that the drug recovery indicator as the only national indicator as it provides a litmus test of local authority’s capacity to improve the chances of recovery for some of the most vulnerable in our society and showcases local authorities’ success in working with a wide range of partners.

Looking to the future, PHE will continue to provide local authorities with expert advice and full support and we urge them to invest to ensure that many more who need it are helped to recover from their addiction and have the best possible chance of living a fulfilling life. These figures need to be seen in the context of rising drug related deaths and rising drug use the challenge for all of us is to overcome these worrying signs before they become established trends.
It’s important that local authorities continue to fulfil their responsibilities to understand and address drug use and the harm it causes in their communities. There is a continuing need for increasingly tailored approaches to support a range of complex needs among some drug users. The clear message we’re hearing from these figures is that drug treatment is working well for many, but there are early signs that recovery rates are slowing. Rosanna O’Connor, Director of Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco at Public Health England said: Waiting times remain low, 98% received treatment in less than 3 weeks. The number of adults starting treatment for heroin or crack cocaine increased slightly 45,739 in 2012 to 2013, to 46,001 in 2013 to 2014, the first increase in 6 years.
A total of 29,150 adults recovered from their addiction in 2013 to 2014, around the same number as the previous year. The total number of people in treatment from 2013 to 2014 was 193,198, effectively remaining static from 193,575 in 2012 to 2013 and from a peak of 210,815 in 2008 to 2009. PHE is committed to working with local authorities to tackle these challenges.
