Details

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities collects data on people receiving treatment for alcohol and drug misuse. This includes details of their treatment and the outcomes.

The report and tables present statistical analysis of treatment data from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. Treatment services from across England submitted the data.

Healthcare professionals can use these resources to understand:

  • the availability and effectiveness of alcohol and drug treatment for adults in England
  • trends in drug and alcohol use among adults receiving treatment
  • the profile of adults accessing alcohol and drug treatment services

For previous annual statistical reports and details of the methodology visit the NDTMS website.

These statistics were produced in partnership with the National Drug Evidence Centre.
