Additional drug and alcohol treatment funding allocations: 2022 to 2023

Published 13 April 2022

Applies to England

Local councils (upper tier and unitary) are responsible for commissioning drug and alcohol treatment and recovery services as part of their public health responsibilities.

In 2022 to 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care is providing a total of £85.7 million in additional grants to improve services in line with the ambitions of the 2021 drug strategy, and the recommendations from Dame Carol Black’s independent review. There is an additional £15.5 million being invested from Project ADDER.

Local councils and their partners have been asked to provide plans to improve their treatment and recovery systems, which will be agreed with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities over the coming months.

The table below shows local authority funding allocations for 2022 to 2023. These figures include:

1. Enhanced funding.

As described in the drug strategy, we are taking a phased approach to increasing funding for treatment and recovery systems, starting with the 50 areas with the highest levels of need. This is based on:

  • rate of drug deaths
  • deprivation
  • opiate and crack cocaine prevalence
  • crime

2. Continuation of additional funding made available in 2021 to 2022.

Areas not yet eligible for enhanced funding have been given extra funding in line with the additional funding made available in 2021 to 2022.

3. Project ADDER.

Additional funding provided to 12 local authorities.

4. Inpatient detoxification allocation.

Additional funding for areas to commission inpatient detoxification organised through regional or sub-regional consortia of local councils.
