Deirdre Boyd, editor._____________________________________________ "GET TREATMENT OR LOSE BENEFITS"Consultation deadline: 22 October 2008Make your views known - download the details here.____________________________________________PETITION TO FREE UKESAD SPEAKERSDoctors Kamiar and Arash Alaei were due to present at UKESAD 2009, the leading UK/European Symposium on Addictive Disorders. Then they were arrested without explanation. Paola Barahona, a global healthpolicy associate with Physicians for Human Rights, Washington, asks us all to sign the online petition to the government of Iran on behalf of the doctors who have been treating people with HIV and drug problems for many years.___________________________________________"DRUG ACTION TEAMS SHOULD TRIPLE PATIENTS IN REHAB"10% of the 128,000 people desperately seeking help for their drug problems should be offered rehab or another drug-free choice of treatment by the Drug Action Teams, stated Nick Lawrence, head of Alcohol, Drugs & Tobacco Policy at the Department of Health. This was in response to a question posed by Addiction Today highlighting that DAT commissioners currently place only 3.6% of patients into rehab, according to figures from the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse. 10% would almost treble the numbers of people given the opportunity for a drug-free life – and solve the critical problem of empty beds alongside waiting lists. "If DAT commissioners continue the way they are, I expect 50% of rehabs will be closed in a year or two," said one treatment provider.

Tel: 020-7713 4997or email amelia.hill@observer.co.uk__________________________________________________OVER 160 CHILDREN EACH WEEK ENTER HOSPITAL DUE TO ALCOHOLThe NHS Information Centre has revealed that 8,494 children younger than 18 years ended up in hospital for alcohol-related problems in 2007. Overall, 207,778 hospital admissions were linked to alcohol in 2007. Read today/Comment.__________________________________________________The UK's last public debate on whether to reclassify cannabis to a Class B drug took place on the Eddie Nestor BBC Radio London show [midnight Sunday 4 May] where Addiction Recovery Foundation CEO Deirdre Boyd debated the issue with legalisation campaigner Steve Rolles. Click here to get the statistics and references used in the show.__________________________________________________DoH ADDS TO GUIDANCE FOR REHABSNick Lawrence, deputy director and head of alcohol, drugs and tobacco policy at the Department of Health sent out addendum guidance for addiction treatment services on the reallocation of capital funds. Read today/Comment.__________________________________________________COALITION FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY CHOICES What is "recovery" from addiction? It affects millions of people in the UK, but most cannot define the answer."People in recovery and those who have power over their lives have a right to be consulted about how recovery is perceived," urges Addiction Recovery Foundation CEO Deirdre Boyd, who is also editor of Addiction Today."It is not as simplistic as whether they are alcohol- and drug-free but also whether the underlying problems - some going back to childhood - have been addressed adequately so that they stay healthy, rebuild healthy family and other relationships. For instance, how can an employer or potential employer assess if they can be trusted with sensitive jobs? When is an impaired lawyer 'recovered enough' to get their licence back? What about gaining the right to fill in a mortgatge-applicatoin form truthfully without being penalised, to get health and life insurance cover without being penalised, to be accepted by their GP, to be reinstated at university? All the people involved have different ideas on what recovery is - and not all are accurate or helpful." Read today/Comment.__________________________________________________REWARDING TREATMENT PROVIDERS FOR RESULTS WORKSA government which pays substance-abuse treatment providers for results, not services, could foster improved quality of care and accountability, according to a study by the Treatment Research Institute. Thomas McLellan PhD and colleagues, with consultant Jack Kemp, studied Delaware's results-oriented contracting system and concluded that providers "improved their ability to attract patients and keep them engaged in treatment longer – both signs of improved addiction treatment quality and accountability for services." Read today/Comment.__________________________________________________CATCH UP ON THE 10-YEAR DRUG STRATEGY TO 2018Drugs: Protecting families and communities underscores what Addiction Today has been striving for across two decades: "The goal of all treatment is for drug users to achieve abstinence from their drug – or drugs – of dependency," states the drugs strategy for 2008-2018. "For some, this can be achieved immediately, but many others will first need a period of drug-assisted treatment with prescribed medication. Drug users receiving drug-assisted treatment should experience a rapid improvement in their overall health and their ability to work, participate in training or support their families. They will then be supported in trying to achieve abstinence as soon as they can." Read today/Comment.__________________________________________________SCOTLAND MOVES FROM METHADONE DEPENDENCE TO REHABA new Scottish anti-drugs strategy by this summer will see a move away from dependence on methadone to treat addicts, with more emphasis on drug-free and residential rehabilitation. But there is no sign of help for the estimated 50,000 children who live with drug-addicted parents. Officials will review drugs budgeting, and report by spring next year. Read today/Comment. __________________________________________________ADDICTED CELEBRITIES NEED HELP NOT MOCKERYClick on the screen below to watch the excellent CBS show featuring Craig Ferguson on recovery – almost 1 million people have.__________________________________________________Home Office figures show that drug offences leapt by over 60% since Labour relaxed the law on cannabis possession in 2004. Drug crime rocketed by 21% last year alone. And there were 55,700 drug offences in July-September last year – police counted 34,600 drug offences in July-September 2004, the time of the reclassification.__________________________________________________TREATMENT-CENTRE LEAGUE TABLESAction plan by ‘healthcare watchdog’ has started... “They are not league tables,” insists Peter Burkinshaw of the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse, when discussing joint reviews by the Healthcare Commission and the NTA of alcohol- and drug-treatment providers, to identify and promote improvements where needed. The results are not due until autumn – but already providers are describing them as league tables. “If I came top, I’d be boasting about it,” said the chief executive of one treatment centre, as others nodded in agreement.

Read today.__________________________________________________WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN 2008? Three expert viewsFirst columnist: PAUL HAYES, CEO of the National Treatment Agency"The consensus that ‘treatment works’ is being overtly challenged in the media for the first time in many years. This is in part a reflection of a shift in thinking in some political and academic circles to support an increasingly abstinence-focused system. The National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse believes the evidence supports a treatment system which balances the immediate benefits to individuals and communities of maintenance and harm reduction, with the long- term benefits of recovery from dependency and treatment completion... Read today/Post comment__________________________________________________THE GUIDE TO REHAB - WHAT REALLY WORKS20 research facts everyone should know about rehab treatment for alcohol and drugs dependencyIn late 1999, Dr David Best (who was working with the National Addiction Centre), Addiction Today editor Deirdre Boyd and the then-CEO of EATA met to initiate an easy-to-use reference document about addiction treatment which could be used by professionals and general public, and which not only covered the key issues but were based on incontrovertible research addressing those issues. EATA requested Addiction Today to publish in full the key research findings - seven years later, we republish the facts. They have not dated. Read today/Comment.
