The significant contribution of resources from my Department to the drugs rehabilitation response includes the 1,000 dedicated CE places delivered through the CE Drug Rehabilitation Projects (DRP’s). The focus of the CE DRP places continues to be on training and development in support of recovery for those seeking a more stable lifestyle, including a path to progression to work. A CE Drugs Advisory Stakeholders Group, led by my Department and including statutory, community, voluntary and scheme representatives is currently working on a framework to further develop and enhance the CE drugs response. This work is ongoing.
