Drug and alcohol services in Scotland
Scotland's national audit body assesses value for money from drug and alcohol services. It found systems poorly informed by the problems to be addressed and what works in addressing them, and in respect of drugs, unclear about what 'value' consists of.
STUDY 2009 HTM file
A practical clinical trial of coordinated care management to treat substance use disorders among public assistance beneficiaries
Further demonstration from a US research team that relatively intensive case management support does help welfare applicants overcome substance use problems, but in this case only those not already managed through substitute prescribing.
STUDY 2009 HTM file
Evaluation of the mandatory drug testing of arrestees pilot
Scotland withdrew funding when it saw this evaluation of testing for heroin/cocaine use on arrest. It looked like a very expensive way to get a few users in to treatment; at two of the three sites, six to eight times more costly per treatment entry than voluntary referral.
REVIEW 2009 HTM file
Refocusing drug-related law enforcement to address harms
'Target enforcement to reduce individual and community harm' is the premise of this report from a UK drug policy think tank, one which seems widely understood, though in some quarters, deeply contested.

Review of the Glasgow & Fife drug courts
For Britain, US-inspired drug courts seemed a way to meld justice with treatment in to a more powerful anti-crime force than looser liaisons. But this Scottish study found no detectable anti-crime benefit; instead the main impact seems to have been to substantially raise costs.
DOCUMENT 2009 HTM file
Guidelines for the psychosocially assisted pharmacological treatment of opioid dependence
Unequivocal backing from UN agencies for methadone and other forms of long term maintenance treatments as the prime modality for the treatment of dependence on heroin and allied drugs. In contrast say the experts, detoxification results in poor long term outcomes.

The Drug Treatment Outcomes Research Study (DTORS): final outcomes report
Over 10 years since the last attempt, in 2006 a national study assessed the progress of patients starting drug treatment in England. A year later drug use and crime were down and social costs saved, but wider life improvements were minor compared to treatment costs.
STUDY 2008 HTM file
Botched DTTO response to crack using offenders
A report on how in 2003 and 2004 three English treatment and testing teams handled their crack using caseloads revealed poor management, strained inter-agency relations and either unknown or poor outcomes.
STUDY 2008 HTM file
Testing children pointless but arrest referral offers early intervention opportunities
In 2007 a report evaluated new criminal justice initiatives for under-18s in England: drug testing, arrest referral, and treatment and testing orders. Only voluntary referral which in practice did not focus on drugs was recommended for wider roll out.
