From Treatment To Life Change...
DISC worked with DrugScope on a response to the National Treatment Agency’s latest figures on drug treatment released in October 2009. As always we stressed our commitment to recovery and social inclusion.
Avril Tully, DISC’s Drugs Services Operations Director, said:
“We see firsthand the difference treatment makes to people’s lives. To us treatment is not just about beating physical dependency - our vision is of recovery and social inclusion.
“We draw drug users into medical and therapeutic treatment for their addictions and then into the services they need to enable them to establish homes, stable relationships and jobs, and to work towards lasting and positive life changes and recovery. At grassroots level being in treatment enables people to move into their own flats for the first time, get back in touch with their families and fill in a job application. Creating a pathway from treatment to life change and transformation is crucial.”
